Marc Almond - Feasting With Panthers lyrics

I live for the spark of the thrill As my lovers move in for the k** As I fall for the curse of the charms To feel teeth in my neck The bruises I get Are lest I forget I'm part of a feast The meeting of beasts I just want to die in their arms Smiling Smiling I watch out for the narrow of eyes Deliciousness of little lies In trouble I fight to survive It's so hard to believe Love's not as it seems When dark eyes they gleam I pray no help comes To save me from the fun As I wait to be eaten alive Still smiling Smiling I'm feasting with panthers I'm dining with tigers I don't care if I live or I die For the moment Lithe and luscious of limb Like an angel stepped out of a hymn Starved, mean and razor blade thin Truth wrapped up in sin A shiver runs down my back As they move in to make their attack The joy of surrender excites me Seduced by the stories of chance Spun in a delirious dance In the wickedness of the romance When in frenzy they start to devour It's unclear who's the one with the power Pushed aside all the manners they lack They consume me They consume me Still smiling Smiling My heart is a splintered crystal The a**a**in aims true his pistol Each bullet made lethal with lies Cruel games with no end Let my broken heart mend Cold fingers dig deep in my heart My riches begin to depart As I try to escape my demise But oh no not really I'm smiling As the panther is making his call It's a funeral for my self-respect A solemn parade for my soul As the keeper he comes to collect And my tears once again Start to fall Payment for pleasure I'm feasting with panthers I'm dining with tigers I don't care if I live or I die I'm feasting with panthers I'm dining with tigers I don't care if I live or I die I'm feasting with panthers I'm dining with tigers I don't care if I live or I die Until the next feeding time I won't be smiling I won't be smiling Smiling
