Today I awoke With a scream in my throat The reminders of you On the sheets
The print of a torso Is this far as I know That feverish hello Another night of too much sleep
Disease and desire Disease and desire Disease and desire Desire
Some wasting complaint That was passed on by love Gods little avenger Smiles down from above And I'd rather eat bugs Than succumb to your love And a kiss on the mouth Is a mouth in the mud
Disease and desire Disease and desire Disease and desire Desire
Watch this lowlife Just look at you Pouring out of your body Like sweat they say Reality breeds contempt Contempt Contempt Contempt
Disease and desire Disease and desire Disease and desire Desire
No heaven up there Oh nothing so nice Just the puff in my mouth Paralysed, paradise
And I'd rather draw blood Than succumb to your love And I'd rather give it all up Than fall for your love
Disease and desire Disease and desire Disease and desire Desire
Disease and desire Disease and desire Disease and desire Desire
Disease and desire Disease and desire Disease and desire Desire
Oh disease and desire Oh no way We'll meet again No way we'll meet again No way We'll meet again No way
