Intro: verse 1 Walking out of England thinking you were king taking on this world On that bus that goes through Mexico a killer often finds a sweet Mexican girl But in Mississippi we rushed into the room Down in Dixie you were crying for dope Down in Alabama they like home-cooked fare yeah So we're gonna strap you to the fryin' chair yeah Pre-Chorus But I don't know what love is Is there something else giving me the chills? But if my hands are the color of blood Then I can tell ya sure I can tell ya Love kills Love kills Love kills Love Kills verse 2 Do you wanna hear the sirens, the sirens of the city drown the arguing? We're on Riker's Island in a population war - they don't care about your fame Pre-Chorus But I don't know what love is Is there something else giving me the chills? But if my hands are the color of blood Then I can tell ya sure I can tell ya Love kills Love kills Love Kills verse 3 On the Rio Grande they'll tie you to a tree Oh-oh-ohh,oh-oh-ohh And you can't call the lawyers 'cause the whorehouse is asleep Oh-oh-ohh,oh-oh-ohh Instrumental You people will get weak Oh-oh-ohh,oh-oh-ohh They'll throw you in a cell where you can barely breathe Pre-Chorus But I don't know what love is Is there something else giving me the chills? But if my hands are the color of blood Then I can tell ya sure I can tell ya Love kills Love kills Love Kills
