The Passion Of Lovers Lyrics - Singles: 1979-1983, Vol. 1 - Bauhaus

She had nut painted arms that were hers to keep 

And in her fear she sought cracked pleasures 

The passion of lovers is for death, said she 

Licked her lips and turned to feather 

And as I watched from underneath 

I came aware of all that she keep 

The little foxes so safe and sound 

They were not dead, they'd gone to ground 

The passion of lovers is for death, said she 

The passion of lovers is for death 

The passion of lovers is for death, said she 

The passion of lovers is for death 

She breaks her heart just a little too much 

And her jokes attract the lucky bad type 

As she dips and wails and slips her banshee smile 

She gets the better of the bigger to the letter 

The passion of lovers is for death, said she 

The passion of lovers is for death 

The passion of lovers is for death, said she 

The passion of lovers is for death 

The passion of lovers is for death, said she 

The passion of lovers is for death 

The passion of lovers is for death, said she 

The passion of lovers is for death 

The passion of lovers is for death, said she 

The passion of lovers is for death 

The passion of lovers is for death, said she 

The passion of lovers is for death 

The passion of lovers is for death, said she 

The passion of lovers is for death
