Talons Lyrics - Intimacy - Bloc Party

And in the dark it comes for me 

Malevolent and without thought 

Uprooting trees, destroying cars 

Cold and relentless, with arms outstretched 

No boat nor brick 

Nor crucifix can hold it back 

I've been wicked 

I've been arrogant 

[Chorus] 

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss (Silent about it) 

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss 

And I cannot say that I was not warned or was misled 

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss 

Awaken from dreams of drunken car crashes 

You saddened my friends and claimed all my lovers 

I tried to stay still, so it will not see 

Its talons rake the side of my face 

When did you become such a slut? 

[Chorus] 

And I didn't think I'd catch fire when I held my hand to the flame 

And I didn't think it would catch up as fast as I could have run 

Fate came a knocking when I was looking the other way 

A new disease came in the post for me today 

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss 

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss 

And when it comes 

And when it comes 

And when it comes 

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
