Talons

And in the dark it comes for me

Malevolent and without thought

Uprooting trees, destroying cars

Cold and relentless, with arms outstretched



No boat nor brick

Nor crucifix can hold it back

I've been wicked

I've been arrogant



And when it comes it will feel like a kiss (Silent about it)

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss

And I cannot say that I was not warned or was misled

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss



Awaken from dreams

Of drunken car crashes

You saddened my friends

And claimed all my lovers



I tried to stay still, so it will not see

Its talons rake the side of my face

Oh when did you become

Such a slut?



And when it comes it will feel like a kiss (Silent about it)

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss

And I cannot say that I was not warned or was misled

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss



And I didn't think I'd catch fire

When I held my hand to the flame

And I didn't think it would catch up

As fast as I could have run



Fate came a-knocking

When I was looking the other way

A new disease came in the post

For me today



And when it comes it will feel like a kiss

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss

And when it comes

And when it comes

And when it comes

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
