The Sisters of Mercy
Possession
[Verse 1]
Carrion child, prey for me
Play your wild card
See the house come
Down around your head
Home to me, so much dreaming
Some say I'm growing cold and
[Chorus]
Taking over
Nothing cuts two ways...
Possession:
Taking over
[Verse 2]
Stand these pictures on your shelf and
Wear your heart upon my sleeve
Wear a dress that you can see through
See yourself inside
I'll be your imagination
Tear apart what you believe
Make a mess of your conviction
Take away my pride and leave
Nothing but the debris
Cuts two ways
Carrion child, prey for me
Play your wild card
See the house come
Down around your...
[Chorus]
Possession:
Taking over
Possession:
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Possession:
Taking over
[Verse 3]
Somehow, the fact takes over
And the fiction coming through
Somehow, I do my crying
Breaking down for you
This way, the doubts takes over
Contradiction coming through
This way, I do my lying
Making up and making out for you
[Chorus]
Possession:
Taking over
Child (Nothing)
Pray for me (But the debris)
Play your wild card (Cuts two ways)
Some say I'm growing cold and
Taking over...
[Refrain]
Down around your head (Nothing)
Home to me (But the debris)
So much dreaming:
See the house come down around your...
[Chorus]
Possession:
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Possession:
Taking over
Possession:
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Possession:
Taking hold
