Talons

And in the dark, it comes for me Malevolent and without thought Uprooting trees, destroying cars Cold and relentless, with arms outstretched No bolt 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 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 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) And when it comes And when it comes, it will feel like a kiss
