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
