Living Loving Kill
July 1, 1988
I’ve been in one place far too long
Locked up inside societies shell
You’ve held my hand the whole way through
But now you’re leading me straight to hell
I can’t begin to tell you why
I feel I’m bursting up inside
My freedom is nowhere to be found
Inside your world where we collide
Your love—hazing like a dream Piercing as a scream Devouring all my will I’m your living loving kill The road is calling for my soul Yet how can I let you go
I want to sling my guitar Right upon my back I want to drive so far Into the sunset For years I’ve climbed the ladder For years I’ve worried I would fall Now I’ve finally reached the top of it And I find it’s up against the wrong wall
Your love—hazing like a dream Piercing as a scream Devouring all my will I’m your living loving kill The road is calling for my soul Yet how can I let you go
I want to sling my guitar Right upon my back I want to drive so far Into the sunset For years I’ve climbed the ladder For years I’ve worried I would fall Now I’ve finally reached the top of it And I find it’s up against the wrong wall
