Song Lyrics

"Take No Prisoners"

by Vigilantes Of Love
Album: Jugular

Here come the lonely days,
It's like the tap's being cut off on Saturday night,
Here come lonely days,
I've been wishing that I wasn't such a parasite.

I dialled your number twenty times, and I know that it ain't wrong,
Lately it occurs to me: this time you're really gone,
I'm so lonely.

Here come the lonely nights,
I been sending out distress signals - Morse Code and the like,
Here come lonely nights,
This bed's become an ocean, and there is no land in sight.

I dialled your number twenty times, I know that it ain't wrong,
Suddenly it dawns on me: this time you're really gone,
I'm so lonely, I'm so lonely.

You know all my secrets, you know all my crimes,
My degree of treason and my sick state of mind,
But your love is like a canon ripping through the dark,
Once I used to stagger, now I've learned to walk,
And I'm so lonely.

Jesus, Jesus, it's my hour of pretence,
I pray it would be followed by heartfelt repentance,
My cranium's a battle zone, there are land mines in my skull,
Break into the compound and take no prisoners.

'Cause I dialled your number twenty times, I know that it ain't wrong,
Lately it occurs to me that you were never gone, even when I'm lonely.

I'm so lonely,
I'm so lonely,
(ad lib)
