Fatally Flawed Songtext
von Ian Hunter & The Rant Band

The flaw was always in your sacred heart
Biding its time till you played the wrong card
There ain′t no hurry, it can wait
To take you out on a last date

There's so many places that a flaw can hide
In the back of your mind or in between your thighs
You don′t know where and you don't know when
But sooner or later they gonna rise again

No more innocence, no more guilt
No more crying over that milk you spilled
The scales of justice are wet
Take a look at that trainwreck, oh, like a Cadillac

You're clutching at straws
What can a murder be, yeah?
Your fatal flaw

When you′ve exhausted every avenue
And no one knows what else they can do
Must have been a twist in your DNA
′Cause those fatal flaws they never fade away


Ooh, they never fade away
Ooh, they don't fade away
Ooh, they don′t fade away
Ooh, they don't fade away

Fatal flaws like to breed
Inside addictive personalities
By her bed, she opens up a drawer
And there′s bottles full of them fatal flaws

Razor sharp and razor shy
They can turn your lights out, baby, leave you in the dark
They can make you crazy, they can make you mean
They got all the power and cut like a guillotine

And there ain't no cure
What can a murder be, yeah?
It′s those fatal flaws

Ooh, they don't fade away

Ooh, they never leave you alone
Ooh, those fatal flaws
Ooh, gonna carry you home
Ooh, they never fade away
Ooh, they don't fade away


Ooh, they never fade away
Ooh, they never fade away
You lost your maker
You were scrambling on the floor
Looking for something you ain′t got anymore
