Lyrics

No Love Lost

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] So long sitting here, didn't hear the warning Waiting for the tape to run We've been moving around in different situations Knowing that the time would come Just to see you torn apart Witness to your empty heart [Chorus] I need it I need it I need it [Spoken Bridge] Through the wire screen The eyes of those standing outside looked in at her As into the cage of some rare creature in a zoo In the hand of one of the assistants She saw the same instrument Which they had that morning Inserted deep into her body She shuddered instinctively No life at all in the house of dolls No love lost (No love lost) No love lost (No love lost) [Verse 2] You've been seeing things in darkness, not in learning Hoping that the truth will pass No life underground, wasting never changing Wishing that this day won't last To never see you show your age To watch until the beauty fades [Chorus] I need it I need it I need it
