This Shrieking Love

I came screaming down the highway

Looking for a place to fly

Stopped outside the window

It's only in the bloodInto the kitchen

Found you lying on the floor

There I tied you up in wire

I can't feel you anymoreYou gave yourself to me

I offered you to God

Wrapped the curtains round your body

It's only in the bloodThis shrieking love

Comes crashing down

This shrieking love

Is not the one you thought you'd found

Oh, it's only in the bloodIt's a deadly clear addiction

A body's breath away

A long hot bath in acid fast

It's only in the bloodOn down the highway

Looking for a place to fly

Stopped outside the window

It's only in the bloodThis shrieking love

Comes crashing down

This shrieking love

Is not the one you thought you'd found

Oh, it's only in the blood
