Venus In Arms - Deathstars

Your lips are like morphine

And your eyes are deceit

The make-up runs down into

The bullet wound in your cheek

There’s a secret I can share now

Just don’t tell

And is all about lust

There’s a world I can show now

Just don’t cry

A black planet of rust

Will this hand destroy you…

Venus in arms

I’ll strip you off

In the flood of the light

Venus in arms

You’ll taste the dark

Yet so innocent white

Your tongue taste like strychnine

And your long hair is torn

The fancy wings are broken

And a black star is born

There’s a venom can you taste it

Let out your tongue

And it tastes so sweet

There’s a diamond can you see it

Open your eyes

Black sugar deep in the meat

Will this hand destroy you…

Venus in arms

I’ll strip you off

In the flood of the light

Venus in arms

You’ll taste the dark

Yet so innocent white

And I will suck you

Into the magic turbines of the night

I will lead you to me

And I will tear them down

All the white stars in your eyes

Then I’ll bury them deep

There are the victims of the vices

Which I try to protect

They are the servants of the crisis

Which I try to protect
