Lyrics

We can fight our desires
Ouuhh but when we start making fires
We get ever so hot
Ouuhh whether we like it or not

They say we can love who we trust
Ouuhh but what is love without lust?
Two hearts with accurate devotions
Ouuhh and what are feelings without emotions?

I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh I'm hoping you'll undertstand
And not let go of my hand

I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh I'm hoping you'll undertstand
And not let go of my hand

I hang my hopes out on the line
Ouuhh will they be ready for you in time?
If you leave them out too long
Ouuhh they'll be withered by the sun

Full stops and exclamation marks
Ouuhh my words stumble before I start
How far can you send emotions?
Ouuhh can this bridge cross the ocean?

I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh I'm hoping you'll undertstand
And not let go of my hand

I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh I'm hoping you'll undertstand
And not let go of my hand

Let's go to war to make peace
Let's be cold to create heat
I hope in darkness we can see
And you're not blinded by the light from me

I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh I'm hoping you'll undertstand
And not let go of my hand
