Dressed to Kill

She is addiction, she is my mind
Running on empty with my partner in crime
Speaking our gospel and serving our time
If she wants forgiveness I'm first in the line
24/7 our body employs a belly of nerves and a head full of noise
She's straight down the middle, she cuts like a knife
She dresses to kill, she's saving my life
She's saving my life
Strips off the armour, gets it all off her chest
Dances with karma in her black party dress
No secret ambition, she wants to be free
She's lost in translation to the powers that be
Building up bridges and making amends
Burning the candle at three different ends
She's straight down the middle, she cuts like a knife
She dresses to kill, she says...
"Step by step, we'll find a way back home"
Hand in hand, a walking prayer
She is all I've ever known, blood red ribbons in jet black hair
Pale white skin and eyes like pearls, in this single mind we share
One restless heart, one tortured soul, I won't ever let her go
She says "step by step, we'll find a way back home"
Hand in hand, a walking prayer
She is all I've ever known, blood red ribbons in jet black hair
Pale white skin and eyes like pearls, she's my world, she's my world
One restless heart, one tortured soul, I will never let her go
She's my world, she's my world
She is addiction, she is my mind
Running on empty with my partner in crime
She's straight down the middle, she cuts like a knife
She dresses to kill
