Love Kills

[Verse 1]

Walking out of England thinking

You were the king taking on this world

On that bus that goes through Mexico

A killer love finds a sweet Mexican girl

But in Mississippi, we rushed into the room

Down in Dixie, you were crying for dope

Down in Alabama, they like home-cooked fare, yeah

So we're gonna strap you to the fryin' chair, yeah

[Chorus]

But I don't know what love is

Is there something else giving me the chills?

But if my hands are the color of blood

Then baby I can tell you, sure I can tell you love kills

[Refrain]

Love kills

Love kills

Love kills

[Verse 2]

Do you wanna hear the sirens, all the sirens

Of the city drown the arguing?

We're on Riker's Island on a population board

They don't care about your fame

[Chorus]

But I don't know what love is

Is there something else giving me the chills?

But if my hands are the color of blood

Then baby, I can tell you, sure I can tell you love kills

[Refrain]

Love kills

Love kills

Love kills

[Verse 3]

On the Rio Grande, they'll tie you to a tree

And you can't call the lawyers, 'cause the whorehouse is asleep

Your people will get weak, they'll throw you in a cell

Where you can barely breathe

[Chorus]

But I don't know what love is

Is there something else giving me the chills?

But if my hands are the color of blood

Then baby I can tell you, sure I can tell you love kills

[Refrain]

Love kills

Love kills

Love kills

Love kills

Love kills

Love kills

Love kills
