A fictitious couple, unhealthily obsessed with one another, addicted to the drama of their love, fated to be together in a perpetual cycle of dysfunction. When we were recording the record in Mölnbo, we went out for dinner most nights to a Turkish pizzeria called Abhi's. It was the only restaurant/bar in the town. Before doing the vocal take on this tune, we visited Abhi's and Emily got steamingly drunk so she could get further into character.
lyrics
I believe every lie that leaves your sweet lips
In return for me babe never tell me how it is
Let’s fill in all these cracks with excuses
Crash your love upon me
All your flames and fury
Smoke us out the house and damn us both to hell
Your love is deadly
All your flames and fury
I’m burning like a fever and we’re both damned to hell
I blinkered my eyes and covered my ears
So I’ll follow you blind for hundreds of years
Let’s fill up our souls with excuses
Crash your love upon me
All your flames and fury
Smoke us out the house and damn us both to hell
Your love is deadly
All your flames and fury
I’m burning like a fever and we’re both damned to hell
So pucker up my babe and come over here
I’ll fall at your feet in worship and fear
Let’s fill in all this shame with excuses
Crash your love upon me
All your flames and fury
Smoke us out the house and damn us both to hell
Your love is deadly
All your flames and fury
I’m burning like a fever and we’re both damned to…
Crash your love upon me
All your flames and fury
Smoke us out the house and damn us both to hell
Your love is deadly
All your flames and fury
I’m burning like a fever and we’re both damned to hell
