Can't Stop Killing You Lyrics - Singles - Kirsty Maccoll

He blew into town like a paper sack 

In a stolen car with a shotgun in the back 

He said, "She can't run now, she can't hide 

I'm gonna get her back for her lies, lies, lies" 

Well, he taught her how to pout 

And he taught her how to tease 

And he taught her how to beg 

When she fell down to her knees 

He said, "Your face is different 

But you're really all the same 

I have to teach you a lesson again and again" 

See, I feel no pleasure and I feel no pain 

So what else can I do? I can't stop killing you 

Can't stop, I can't stop killing you 

Can't stop, I can't stop 

When you're out there in the dark 

I'll come rushing through your brain 

When you wake up in the morning 

I'll be coursing through your veins 

When you're swimming in the water 

I'm the hand that drags you under 

I'm the lightning that strikes you 

Just before you hear the thunder 

A, ooh, I can't stop killing you 

Well, she woke up in the bathroom 

With her face upon the floor 

She said, "I don't know what I'm doing here 

But I've been here before" 

And the fixit man had fixed her 

'Cos he's such a little Hitler 

And he loves the feel of power 

That she gives him through her terror 

A, ooh, I can't stop killing you 

Well, she looked into the mirror 

As she smoked her cigarette 

And she wondered where she'd go now 

To find a place she could forget 

All the things he said he'd do 

I can't stop killing you 

Can't stop, I can't stop killing you 

Can't stop, I can't stop 

When you're out there in the dark 

I'll come rushing through your brain 

When you wake up in the morning 

I'll be coursing through your veins 

When you're swimming in the water 

I'm the hand that drags you under 

I'm the lightning that strikes you 

Just before you hear the thunder 

A, ooh, I can't stop killing you 

Can't stop, I can't stop killing you 

Can't stop, I can't stop killing you 

Can't stop, I can't stop killing you 

...
