Missile

Iamx · Kiss And Swallow [2004]

So you came like a missile

Falling on my head

With a black sky

You think you're giving..

But you're taking my life away



Then you came with your breezeblocks

Smashing up my face like a bus-stop

You think you're giving..

But you're taking my life away



Like the drunk you convinced was sober

You keep me falling over

You think you're giving..

But you're taking my life away



With your best of intentions

You try to give an ocean directions

You think you're giving..

But you're taking my life away



So you came like a missle

Leaving me the whole world in exile

You think you're giving..

But you're taking my life away



Like the drunk you convinced was sober

You keep me falling over

You think you're getting..

But you're taking my life away

You think you're giving..

But you're taking my life away
