Kill Zone Lyrics - Tooth Of Crime - T Bone Burnett

We stood together in the open field 

And heard the secret that the night revealed 

Then we chased the lie 

Racing through the sky 

Can we untangle guilt or innocence? 

How hard we torture this ambivalence 

Night will bring no dawn 

Where has power gone? 

For I'll steal your dreams while you are sleeping 

And sell them for dust and cheap lust 

And I'll slit your hope while you are weeping 

And wipe the blood clean with morphine 

Be my queen 

The wind howls the black clouds around the storm at sea 

I'm dropping at too great a speed 

Come closer to me on your hands and knees 

Alone in the kill zone
