Lydia Lunch - Portrait of the Minus Man lyrics

Lonesome train cries like a deadman Bruised skin blood kissed hands Siren howl echo, parks in panic Portrait of the minus man Helicopters scan for perpetrators Broken body face down in the sand Innocence stumbles into slaughter Portrait of the minus man Temptation is greater than memory Standing on the edge of everything He's like a comet no one knows is falling Don't know, don't know Don't know, don't know This is a devil that I don't know Sleep the a**aliant creeps toward him Knife in teeth, crusted grin Night lights casting shadows That the naked eye lives to regret Neck deep in dangerous waters A shipwreck of self in a parallel universe Lost in twilight's surrender He's robbing the pleasure bank Each strangled breath Is an angel's kiss He's like a bullet through smoke He's got blood in his shoes His next victim could be you Lonesome train cries like a deadman Bruised skin blood kissed hands Siren howl echo, parks in panic Portrait of the minus man Helicopters scan for perpetrators Broken body face down in the sand Innocence stumbles into slaughter Portrait of the minus man
