Venus In Arms

Your lips are like morphine
 And your eyes are deceit
 The make-up runs down into
 The bullet wound in your cheek
 There's a secret I can share now
 Just don't tell
 And is all about lust
 There's a world I can show now
 Just don't cry
 A black planet of rust
 Will this hand destroy you...
 Will this hand destroy you...
 Venus in arms
 I'll strip you off
 In the flood of the light
 Venus in arms
 You'll taste the dark
 Yet so innocent white
 Your tongue taste like strychnine
 And your long hair is torn
 The fancy wings are broken
 And a black star is born
 There's a venom can you taste it
 Let out your tongue
 And it tastes so sweet
 There's a diamond can you see it
 Open your eyes
 Black sugar deep in the meat
 Will this hand destroy you...
 Will this hand destroy you...
 Venus in arms
 I'll strip you off
 In the flood of the light
 Venus in arms
 You'll taste the dark
 Yet so innocent white
 Venus in arms
 I'll strip you off
 In the flood of the light
 Venus in arms
 You'll taste the dark
 Yet so innocent white
 ♪
 And I will suck you
 Into the magic turbines of the night
 I will lead you to me
 And I will tear them down.
 All the white stars in your eyes
 Then I'll bury them deep
 Then I'll bury them deep
 
 Will this hand destroy you
 Will this hand destroy you
 There are the victims of the vices
 Which I try to protect
 They are the servants of the crisis
 Which I try to protect
 Venus in arms
 I'll strip you off
 In the flood of the light
 Venus in arms
 You'll taste the dark
 Yet so innocent white
 Yet so innocent white
