Crimes of Passion Lyrics by Rough Trade

Shaking the Foundations

0

Her hand slipped down into the moistness of herself
She pulled her knees up spread eagle on the bed
Her chenille bathrobe, torn down the side
He was a willing victim, he couldn't resist her
Shower still dripping, coffee table overturned
The gun still smoking, scream caught in her throat
Her lungs still burning, her tempo throbbing
She reached for a crumpled pack and lit up a smoke
There's no limit to the depths you can sink to
There's no limit to the heights you can climb
Crimes of passion, crimes of passion, crimes
Crimes, (crimes of passion), (crimes), crimes, (crimes of passion)
Johnny and Eddie lay in bed, their limbs entwined
The air full of the sickly sweet smell of amyl
Their tanned bodies bathed in sweat
They looked like two young gods
Writhing in the throes of ecstasy
Billy ran in, pulled out a knife
Screaming goodbye as johnny begged for his life
Eddie got Billy in a strangle hold
Pushed his face into a blood-stained pillow
There's no limit to the depths you can sink to
There's no limit to the heights you can climb
Crimes of passion, crimes of passion, crimes
Crimes, (crimes of passion), (crimes), crimes, (crimes of passion)
(Crimes), crimes, (crimes of passion)
(Crimes), crimes, (crimes of passion)
There's no limit to the depths you can sink to
There's no limit to the heights you can climb
There's no limit to the depths you can sink to
There's no limit to the heights you can climb
There's no limit to the depths you can sink to
There's no limit to the heights you can climb
There's no limit to the depths you can sink to
There's no limit to the heights you can climb
There's no limit to the depths you can sink to
There's no limit to the heights you can climb
There's no limit to the depths you can sink to
There's no limit to the heights you can climb
There's no limit to the depths you can sink to
There's no limit to the heights you can climb
