Death Is a Star

[Verse 1] And I was gripped by that deadly phantom I followed him through hard jungles As he stalked through the back lots Strangling through the night shades The thief of life Moved onwards and outwards to love [Verse 2] In a one stop only motel A storm bangs on the cheapest room The phantom slips in to spill blood Even on the sweetest honeymoon The killer of love Caught the last late Niagara bus [Chorus] By chance or escaping from misery By suddenness or in answer to pain Smoking in the dark cinema You could see the bad go down again [Verse 3] And the clouds are high in Spanish mountains And a Ford roars through the night full of rain The killer's blood flows But he loads his guns again [Verse 4] Make a grown man cry like a girl To see the guns dying at sunset [Chorus] In vain, lovers claimed That they never had met Smoking in the dark cinema See the bad go down again
