Sanity Assassin Lyrics - Bauhaus

Sinister echoes clutching at straws 

Letter boxes screaming 

You try to pin him to the wall 

You end up on the ceiling 

Locked in a dome 

The shadows flicker by 

He's the madcap pusher 

Delirium the drug he's dealing 

He drops a capsule in your drink 

And spikes your dreams with madness 

He's the sniper in the hills 

Hiding in the holes in your head 

He's the poison in your poison 

The razor in your head 

Hanging on a picture 

Eyelid needle and thread 

You empty yourself once again 

But he's always one step ahead 

He whispers in your ear 

Was it nothing that you said 

He's walking in your sleep now 

He keeps your fat paranoia well-fed 

He drops a capsule in your drink 

And spikes your dreams with madness 

The sanity assassin 

Stays up all night stalking 

The sanity assassin 

Picks off victims like flies 

The sanity assassin 

Let his fingers do the walking 

The sanity assassin 

The crack shot between your eyes 

He drops a capsule in your drink 

And spikes your dreams with madness 

Assassin 

He's the poison in your poison 

He's the poison in your poison 

Drops a capsule in your drink 

And drops a capsule in your drink 

And spikes your dreams with 

Drops a capsule in your drink 

And spikes your dreams with madness
