Dare You To Kill Me

(poole/martin/poole)


Free-spirited young man
Why d'you have to grow
From a sparky little jewel
Into something so pointed and cold
Cold feet
I'm gonna do a runner
I couldn't breathe
Cos you had the power

And i feel sorry for you
Cos you don't bother me
And cos i'm in control now
I dare you to kill me
I've erased all your twisted ways
From my memory
And cos i'm in control now
I dare you, i dare you
You're gonna have to kill me
(oo-ooh, oo-ooh)

I could forgive you
But then i would say that, wouldn't i?
I wasn't jaded back then
And i still had a twinkle in my eye
Funny how it is with a hand around your neck
And a pounding in your chest
What thoughts you have
I haven't been to india yet

And i feel sorry for you
Cos you don't bother me
And cos i'm in control now
I dare you to kill me
I've erased all your twisted ways
From my memory
And cos i'm in control now
I dare you, i dare you
You're gonna have to

I haven't been to india yet
No, no
I haven't been to india yet

Free-spirited young man
Why d'you have to grow
From a sparky little jewel
Into something so pointed and cold
Cold feet
They took me on a runner
Now i can breathe
Cos i have the power

And i feel sorry for you
Cos you don't bother me
And cos i'm in control now
I dare you to kill me
I've erased all your twisted ways
From my memory
And cos i'm in control now
I dare you, i dare you
You're gonna have to kill me
