La Roux-In for the Kill

We can fight our desires,
ooooo-ooooo,
but when we start making fires.
We get ever so hot,
ooooo-ooooo,
whether we like it or not.

They say we can love who we trust,
ooooo-ooooo,
but what is love without lust?
Two hearts with accurate devotions,
ooooo-ooooo,
what are feelings without emotions?

I'm Going in for the kill,
I'm doing it for a thrill,
oh I'm hoping you'll understand,
and not let go of my hand.

I'm Going in for the kill,
I'm doing it for a thrill,
oh I'm hoping you'll understand,
and not let go of my hand.

I hang my hopes out on the line,
ooooo-ooooo,
will they be ready for you in time?
If you leave them out too long,
ooooo-ooooo,
they'll be withered by the sun.

Full-stops and exclamation-marks,
ooooo-ooooo
my words stumble before I start.
How far can you send emotions?
ooooo-ooooo
Can this bridge across the ocean?

I'm Going in for the kill,
I'm doing it for a thrill,
oh I'm hoping you'll understand,
and not let go of my hand.

I'm Going in for the kill,
I'm doing it for a thrill,
oh I'm hoping you'll understand,
and not let go of my hand.

Lets call to all to make peace,
Lets by cold to create ease.
Open darkness we can see,
You're not blind, borrow the light from me.

ooooo-hoooo
ooooo-hoooo
ooooo-hoooo
ooooo-hoooo

I'm Going in for the kill,
I'm doing it for a thrill,
oh I'm hope you'll understand,
and not let go of my hand.
