The Killing Moon (BBC Radio 1 Jo Whiley session, 1997) Songtext
von Echo & the Bunnymen

Under blue moon, I saw you
So soon you′ll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you
Or cancel it, though I know it must be

The killing time
Unwillingly mine

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

In starlit nights, I saw you
So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips, a magic world
Your sky, all hung with jewels

The killing moon
Will come too soon


Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

Under blue moon, I saw you
So soon you took me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you
Or cancel it, though I know it must be

The killing time
Unwillingly mine

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

La-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la


Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

To him, to him
To him, to him
To him, to him
