And in the dark, it comes for me

Malevolent and without thought


Uprooting trees, destroying cars


Cold and relentless with arms outstretched




No boat nor brick


nor crucifix can hold it back

I have been wicked


I have been arrogant




And when it comes it will feel like a kiss


Silent about it


And when it comes it will feel like a kiss

And I cannot say that I was not warned or was misled


When it comes it will feel like a kiss




Awaken from dreams of drunken car crashes


You saddened my friends and claimed all my lovers


I try to stay still so it will not see me

Its talons rake the side of my face


I want you to be calm


You're such a !@#%




And when it comes it will feel like a kiss


Silent about it

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss


And I cannot say that I was not warned or was misled


When it comes it will feel like a kiss




And I didn't think I'd catch fire when I held my hand to the flame


And I didn't think it would catch up as fast as I could have run

Fate came a-knocking when I was looking the other way


A new disease came in the post for me today




And when it comes it will feel like a kiss


And when it comes it will feel like a kiss


And when it comes

(And when it comes)


And when it comes

(And when it comes)


And when it comes

(and when it comes)

And when it comes


It will feel like a kiss.
