trigger happy love

Lyrics

i've seen her standing in the street, just waiting for the next affair, satin braces on her feet, and manicured hair, i've seen him waiting in the wings, counting shadows as they pass, the warning buzzer starts to ring, he'll break her like glass, and caress every sliver of dress, then insist that she kiss and be blessed, the big test - the big test, feelings are stealing your heart away, feelings are stealing your heart away, each and every day, the need's growing stronger, can't hold back any longer, trigger happy love triggers a love that's no love at all, the hand is quicker than the eye, the present closer than the past, he took her once, he took her twice, not waiting to ask, then he laid her body down, stroking gently on the stairs, the blushing roses turned to brown, and mixed with the air, and the heat and the noise of the street, in the dust of what must be complete, to have need - to have need, feelings are stealing your heart away, feelings are stealing your heart away, each and every day, the need's growing stronger, can't hold back any longer, trigger happy love triggers a love that's no love at all, they gave him twenty to life, he's out in five on parole, back to the kids and the wife, and life on the dole, he's just a family man, she nags him worse than before, he counts the minutes on his hand, and walks out the door to be charmed in the arms of a whore, to be freed of the need to be more, to want more - to want more, feelings are stealing your heart away, feelings are stealing your heart away, each and every day the need's growing stronger, can't hold back any longer, trigger happy love triggers a love, that's no love at all
