Heart that Kills You

[Verse 1]

Adam watches his little Eve sleeping in a grief of snow

Not knowing what to do or where to go

He packed his bags for the big city

Oh what else, lie around lying there

Coughing up here dreams, serpents sink inside her with their fangs

And bite her deep, so deep she loved it

'Oh Adam', she said 'Oh Adam don't stop'

She said don't stop 'Oh, oh, oh'

He said 'No we cannot stay, like apples we will drop'

And stepped from the garden into L.A

[Chorus]

In the end it is your heart that kills you

And I know that you won't be coming here today

In the end it is your heart that kills you

It's all wrong but it's alright in its way

[Verse 2]

We are beginning our descent, said the tannoy on the way to L.A

Adam leaned across to little Eve and explained what that meant

And handed her the oxygen mask as she looked out the window

And watched the babies writing in the clouds, turning into clouds

She said 'No, no, no, no, no don't stop, oh Adam don't, don't stop, don't stop'

But the tin can turned down and like a little apple dropped

And into old and angry age

[Chorus]

Cause in the end it is your heart that kills you

I know that you won't come now, stay

Cause in the end it is your heart that kills you

I know that you won't come now, stay
