The Sisters of Mercy
Valentine
[Verse 1]
The razor bites and the shriek subsides
He arches, clutching at his sides
Across the floor, across the tiles
The man is dead, and the razor smiles
A shiny love song, a quick incision
Cut him down on television
[Verse 2]
A people come to this
Beyond the age of reason
A people fed on famine
A people on their knees, and
A people eat each other
A people stand in line
Waiting for another war and
Waiting for my valentine
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 3]
For a million empty faces
For a million hollow smiles
Cancer for my education
Watch the body hit the files
Waiting for another war and
Waiting for my valentine
