lyrics
JOHN HE WAS A KILLER
HIS EYES, THEY HAD NO FEEL
HE’S LOOKING OUT HIS WINDOW
ACROSS THE STREET FOR HIS NEXT MEAL
HE KNOWS ITS ALL SUBCONSCIOUS
AND HE KNOWS HE CAN BE SICK
BUT IF KILLING TIME
IS ALL HE’S GOT
SOCIETY MAKES HIM TICK
SADIE WAS A CALL GIRL
HER LIPSTICK WAS PRISTINE
SHE’S DREAMING OF THAT LIFE WHERE
SHE CAN SIT DOWN FOR A MEAL
SHE KNOWS SHE’S GOT IT COMING
AND SHE KNOWS HER TIME IS UP
BUT THIS SYSTEMS GOT A PLACE FOR HER
AND ITS NOWT TO DO WITH LUCK
IF HE COULD HE WOULD BE CAUGHT UP
IN THE CENTRE OF HER UNIVERSE
AND HE’LL PRETEND HE IS INVINCIBLE
AND LET GO OF THE HOUR GLASS
AND HE WON’T LET THEM PULL HIM BACK
HE NOTICED HER AT DARK
SHE HAD THAT KIND OF SPARK
IGNITED WITH THIS POWER
HE IS KING AND CONQUERER
SHE LOOKS A LITTLE FLUSTERED
AS HE PACES BACK AND FORTH
HE LIKES IT WHEN THIER PARANOID
BECAUSE PARANOID IS FUN
JOHN HE GOT CAUGHT SHORT YEAH
BEFORE THE DEED WAS DONE
HE LOOKED INTO HER EYES
AND SAW THE PERSON HE’D BECOME
SHE KNOWS HE DOESN’T MEAN IT
AND SHE THINKS HE’S QUITE A CATCH
BUT IF KILLING TIME IS ALL THEY HAVE
THEN THIS IS A PERFECT MATCH
IF SHE COULD SHE WOULD BE CAUGHT UP
IN THE CENTRE OF HIS UNIVERSE
AND SHE’LL PRETEND SHE IS INVINCIBLE
AND LET GOT OF THE HOUR GLASS
AND SHE WONT LET THEM PULL HER BACK
IF THEY COULD THEY WOULD BE CAUGHT UP
IN THE CENTRE OF THIER UNIVERSE
AND THEY’LL PRETEND THEY ARE INVINCIBLE
AND LET GO OF THE HOUR GLASS
IF YOU COULD YOU WOULD BE CAUGHT UP
IN THE CENTRE OF YOUR UNIVERSE AND YOU’LL PRETEND YOU ARE INVINCIBLE
AND HANGON TO THE HOUR GLASS
AND THIS IS WHY ITS SUCH A MESS
