door and I'll come inside
Don't be afraid, it willbe alright / I will change
your whole life tonight
and you're so beautiful / too beautiful for this dead-end world
I'm taking you to a better place / oh, far away from this stupid race, oh
Come with me / for ever / and ever / please come with me / for ever
No, don't let me down / oh, don't make me cry
Lie in my arms / and be mine tonight / Do it
Oh, did I tell you / that there was no need to be afraid?
Oh, you've got such a beautiful body
Oh, you'll make such a beautiful body
I smoke these yellow-lit cul-de-sacs at night
You hear my foot-step on your bedroom stair
and I will take the first one in every house in town
I'll take your sisters and I'll lay them down / I'll lay them down
Tonight!
Mother (mother)
Father (father)
Brother (brother)
Take them all a-
Ba ba ba ba...
Make you mine / I want your body
Mother (mother)
Father (father)
Brother (brother)
The wind (the wind)
Streets (streets)
Those girls (girls)
I walked into town (town) (town).
