Lyrics

It was the heat of the night I think Or it could've been the effect of the drink But I had to brush away the flies That started to collect around your eyes I've still the taste of the sweat and the dust You're still playing games and abusing my trust In the heat of the night, in the glow of the light It's the back and the bite, that's feeling alright Do you use up bodies like cigarettes Do you need them for ego, do you need them for sex? In the heat of the night, in the glow of the light It's the back and the bite, that's feeling alright Do you use up bodies like cigarettes Do you need them for ego, do you need them for sex? It was a bite of a night gone wrong And the effect of listening to negative songs Stuck in a love scene from blood and sand And the way the room keeps spinning around Now I know what they mean by looks can kill And they're having a strange effect on the way I feel In the heat of the night, in the glow of the light It's the back and the bite, that's feeling alright Do you use up bodies like cigarettes Do you need them for ego, do you need them for sex? In the heat of the night, in the glow of the light It's the back and the bite, that's feeling alright Do you use up bodies like cigarettes Do you need them for ego, do you need them for sex? Oh, and you're moaning about your wasted life Lying there listening to "Spanish Eyes" With the cups on the floor, and the plates in the sink And the room full of smoke, and then you full of drink You skin's going dry and the color of sand Ignore the cigarette burning your hand You skin's going dry and the color of sand Ignore the cigarette burning your hand Now I know what they mean by looks can kill And they're having a strange effect on the way I feel Now I know what they mean by looks can kill And they're having a strange effect on the way I On the way I, on the way I feel Now I know, now I know what they mean Now I know what they mean by By looks can, by looks can kill, kill Now I know, now I know what they mean by looks can kill
