Martin lyrics

Martin
Martin is talking to you

Martin is a boy with problems
Martin has a family history
Martin has too many nightmares
He lives in a fantasy
There`s a danger that he`ll take too far
His morbid curiosity

He`s seen too many creepy films
He`s read too many books
Martin sleeps with all the lights on
Martin`s seen too many looks
He lives out a strange obsession
Tries hard to resist
But Martin needs his strange obsession
To exist

(Kill, kill, kill)

He`s far too pale and far too frail
To be a normal boy
There`s something shining in his eyes
The things he`d like to say
Martin had a lot to live down
Growing up in a mining town
Torches burning in the trees
The shivering lust of blood
He`s the star of many horror movies
But deep inside he`s good

There`s an illness flowing through him
That`s there all the time
And though he watches and he waits
He knows he`s not to blame
The face at the window
The hand under the bed
Martin has hallucinations
Dreams that he`s dead
He finds the hunger`s at its worst
When he`s in bed

(Kill, kill, kill)

He`s finding hard to keep control
He knows it won`t be long
And his tongue rolls over his dry lips
And the voice lingers on
