Kill Zone lyrics

Artist  : T Bone Burnett 
Song : Kill Zone
 
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



How much is not enough, how much is through?

How long will I be getting over you?

How much grief and sin 'til a heart caves in?

'Til a heart caves in, 'til a heart caves in
