Venus In Arms — Deathstars

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...

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...

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

There are the victims of the vices Which I try to protect They are the servants of the crisis Which I try to protect
