i came screaming down the highway
looking for a place to fly
stopped outside the window
it's only in the blood
into the kitchen
found you lying on the floor
there i tied you up in wire
i can't feel you anymore

you gave yourself to me
i offered you to god
wrapped the curtains round your body
it's only in the blood

this shrieking love
comes crashing down
this shrieking love
is not the one you thought you'd found
oh it's only in the blood

it's a deadly clear addiction
a body's breath away
a long hot bath in acid fast
it's only in the blood
on down the highway
looking for a place to fly
stopped outside the window
it's only in the blood

this shrieking love
comes crashing down
this shrieking love
is not the one you thought you'd found
oh it's only in the blood
