Bloc Party. - Talons lyrics

rate me

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’ve been wicked

I’ve 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

And 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 tried to stay still, so it will not see

Its talons rake the side of my face

When did you become such a slut?

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

And 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 it will feel like a kiss
