T-Bone Burnett - Kill Zone lyrics

We stood together in the open field

And heard the secret that the night revealed

Then we chased the lie

Racing through the sky

Can we untangle guilt or innocence?

How hard we torture this ambivalence

Night will bring no dawn

Where has power gone?

For I'll steal your dreams while you are sleeping

And sell them for dust and cheap lust

And wipe the blood clean with morphine

Be my queen

The wind howls the black clouds around the storm at sea

I'm dropping at too great a speed

Come closer to me on your hands and knees

Alone in the kill zone

How much is not enough, how much is through?

How long will I be getting over you?

How much grief and sin 'til a heart caves in?

'Til a heart caves in, 'til a heart caves in
