Killer Lover

I hear the key turning in the door
And then the footsteps creeping across the floor
Somebody’s coming across the gloom
My assassin is in the room

(You, my killer lover)

My heart is hammering in its case
I feel your breath hot upon my face
Smiling murder in your eyes
Tonight there’ll be no alibis

(You, my killer lover)

I die just a little when you touch my skin
Like the man in the bible I rise again
And when the sun beats in upon our eyes
I die once more before I rise

(You, my killer lover)
