Flirting with Suicide - Paul Di'Anno, Dennis Stratton, Praying Mantis

To see the light

To see the light

Of the day that may never see night

The lady awaits to open the gates

Today there won’t be a fight

And he knows it has to be that way

It’s instinct you know not choice

An urge he only feels inside

That can’t be expressed in his voice

Flirting with suicide

No return ticket

No place to hide

Flirting with suicide

'Cause this is just a one way ride

Winging his way on a path of pure ecstasy

Her scent draws him closer, a tear

Can he win over her heart, win it just that once

Her object is blatantly clear

Flirting with suicide

No return ticket

No place to hide

Flirting with suicide

'Cause this is just a one way ride

The encounter was usual the feeling was mutual

Now came the hardest part

As they exchanged glances he took no chances

Aiming his song at her heart

But the lady she knows it’s been tried before

You’ve gotta admire her tact

And in the midday sun with no place to run

She commenced her sacrificial act

With a prayer to the Lord ha brandished his sword

Her passion raged like fire

In just a few moments the two had become

A fusion of frenzied desire

Glistening wings entangled limbs buttered just to her link'

If insect were man then he should be proud

He fell to her just like a vikin'
