Lyrics

Curiosity Killed the Moth

I was told to sit here quietly
So I never talked to strangers
So what happens when I need to feed
And I can't tell what's love from danger?

And it looks so sweet but what's underneath
Leaves much to be desired
Flying to the light, no end in sight
It was only just a fire
And I just can't sleep on amphetamines
They only make me tired
When the night hurts, and I'm wired

I got a sick and twisted fascination
My own decimation
Me and Icarus are cut from the same cloth
Searching for velvet sensations
Falling for temptation
Curiosity killed the moth

I could sit and wither idly
Clip my wings, instead I'm soaring
Even if it ends up violently
At least you'd never call me boring

And it looks so sweet but what's underneath
Leaves much to be desired
Flying to the light, no end in sight
It was only just a fire
And I just can't sleep on amphetamines
They only make me tired
When the night hurts, and I'm wired

I got a sick and twisted fascination
My own decimation
Me and Icarus are cut from the same cloth
Searching for velvet sensations
Falling for temptation
Curiosity killed the moth
