Bloc Party - Talons Lyrics

Talons (Acoustic Version) lyrics



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
For I've been wicked
I've been arrogant

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
It's talons rake the side of my face
When did you become such a slut? (A dirty slut)

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
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
It will feel like a kiss

And I didn't think I'd catch fire when I held my hand to the flame
And I didn't think they'd catch up as fast as we could have run
Fate came a knocking when I was looking the other way
A new disease came in the post for me today
For me today,for me today,for me today

And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
Silent and velvet
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
And when it comes
And when it comes
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss


(Bloc Party 2008)

Note the 'Standard release of this single - is nothing at all in 'mood' like this version, in my opinion this is the superior release.
