Possession

Lyrics

If there's anything that you want

If there's anything that you need

There's no need to be evasive

Money talks and it's persuasive

Possession

Now you're sending me your best wishes

Signed with love and vicious kisses

You lack lust, you're so lacklustre

Is that all the strength you can muster?

Possession

Even when we are out of touch

Now I know that I've seen too much

Seen too much

So I see us lying back to back

My case is closed, my case is packed

I'll get out before the violence

Or the tears or the silence

Possession
