If blood and love tastes so sweet
If lust and hate is the candy
If lust and hate is the candy
If lust and hate is the candy
So their eyes are growing hazy
So their eyes are growing hazy
So their minds are soft and lazy
So their minds are soft and lazy.
Then we give 'em what they want.
Then we give 'em what they want.
'Cos they wanna turn it on
