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
