Lyrics

No Time To Cry - 12" Single Cover (Front)

(Flesh)
(Bone)
(Splinters on the telephone)
(Whispers ...)
Bullet in the head
Down
Head
Down
Got power to burn
Got means
Flowers to burn
Between those pretty dreams
Hold out for cover
Hold out your hands to me, for
Blood, blood money
Blood, blood money, money, money, money

(Kiss ...)

Children, kiss the ring
Children, kiss the blade

Blood money
Blood money

Which hand holds
Your hand? Holds
Blood, blood money
Blood, blood money, money, money, money
Blood, blood money
Blood, blood money, money, money, money
