Venus in Arms Lyrics

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 it's 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

(Repeat Chorous)

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

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 a venus in white
