Disease And Desire - Soft Cell

Today I awoke

With a scream in my throat

The reminders of you

On the sheets

The print of a torso

Is this far as I know

That feverish hello

Another night of too much sleep

Disease and desire

Disease and desire

Disease and desire

Desire

Some wasting complaint

That was passed on by love

Gods little avenger

Smiles down from above

And I’d rather eat bugs

Than succumb to your love

And a kiss on the mouth

Is a mouth in the mud

Disease and desire

Disease and desire

Disease and desire

Desire

Watch this lowlife

Just look at you

Pouring out of your body

Like sweat they say

Reality breeds contempt

Contempt

Contempt

Contempt

Disease and desire

Disease and desire

Disease and desire

Desire

No heaven up there

Oh nothing so nice

Just the puff in my mouth

Paralysed, paradise

And I’d rather draw blood

Than succumb to your love

And I’d rather give it all up

Than fall for your love

Disease and desire

Disease and desire

Disease and desire

Desire

Disease and desire

Disease and desire

Disease and desire

Desire

Disease and desire

Disease and desire

Disease and desire

Desire

Oh disease and desire

Oh no way

We’ll meet again

No way we’ll meet again

No way

We’ll meet again

No way

Oh disease and desire
