The Nature Of Love Lyrics - Twelve Inch Singles (1981-1984) - Ministry

The nature of love 

Love... 

love is like an open hand 

stings a little when it lands 

hold me closer 

hold me tighter 

hold me so damn close that my heart's on fire 

it's a fantasy 

it's a nightmare 

and the whole damn world is walking round in theirs 

I said love... 

love is like a razor blade 

double edge and double pain 

hold me closer 

hold me tighter 

when i rip your flesh and the pain is fresh 

it's a fantasy 

it's a nightmare 

and the whole damn world doesn't seem to care 

i said love... 

love is like a butcher knife 

double sharp for single lives 

hold me closer 

hold me tighter 

as the lights go out and we start to shout 

it's a fantasy 

it's a nightmare 

with a big black bruise and a handful of hair 

i said love...
