Lyrics

Killer Blow

Pretty little thing She held all the magic that's so hard to believe Never too far away It's hard to conceive Never thought she'd have to go Never thought she'd leave It came like a killer blow Killer blow Funny, isn't it? That a little girl can make the world seem so small Hard to believe The little girl can seem so tall And the thing that he calls love Isn't thick enough? She had to go That's the way it goes Killer blow Your love has wings That took her to the things he couldn't give She got the kiss of life Kiss of life She's gone where it's so easy to live It's so easy to live Searching for the scent of content Oh no, it's the killer blow Killer blow Get along without me, boy Get along without me You see things aren't quite what they seem Get along without me, why me? Out of your dreams I'm no angel, I'm no This may come As a killer blow Killer blow Killer blow
