Heathen - Morbid Curiosity lyrics

rate me

[Piercy/White]

Drawn forth by terror, they gather to see

The wreckage and the carnage, it's like a disease

We read it in the papers, we see it on the news

Conditioned by the media, how can we refuse?

Sirens screaming into the night

A victim of circumstance

A blur of flashing light

Out in the streets, a crowd forms to see

The twisted remains of what used to be

Everyday we run this deadly race

Anything can happen at any time or place

The future isn't certain, no matter what you do

When your time has come, fate falls upon you

Sirens screaming into the night

A victim of circumstance

A blur of flashing light

Out in the streets, a crowd forms to see

The twisted remains of misery

Curious people attracted to death

Capture a glimpse of someone's last breath

Subject of interest for public view

What happened to them could've happened to you

Some people can't wait to hear it

The disaster of the day

It makes them feel better

While their own lives decay

Drawn forth by terror, they gather to see

The wreckage and the carnage, it's like a disease

How will this affect the future in time to come?

How will they perceive us when all is said and done?

Sirens screaming into the night

A victim of circumstance

A blur of flashing light

Out in the streets, a crowd forms to see

The twisted remains of what used to be

Curious people attracted to death

Capture a glimpse of someone's last breath

Subject of interest for public view

What happened to them might happen to you
