The Sisters of Mercy - Valentine Lyrics

The razor bites and the shriek subsides
He arches clutching at his sides
Across the floor across the tiles
The man is dead and the razor smiles

A shiny love song a quick incision
Cut him down on television
A people come to this
Beyond the age of reason

A people fed on famine
A people on their knees and
People eat each other
A people stand in line

Waiting for another war and
Waiting for my valentine
For a million empty faces
For a million hollow smiles

Cancer for my education
Watch the body hit the files
Waiting for another war and
Waiting for my valentine
