The Sanity Assassin - Bauhaus

Sinister echoes clutching at straws

Letter boxes screaming

You try to pin him to the wall

You end up on the ceiling

Locked in a dome

The shadows flicker by

He’s the madcap pusher

Delerium the drug he’s dealing

He drops a capsule in your drink

And spikes your dreams with madness

He’s the sniper in the hills

Hiding the holes in your head

He’s the poison in your poison

The razor in your head

Hanging on a picture

Eyelid needle and thread

You empty yourself once again

But he’s always one step ahead

He whispers in your ear

Was it nothing that you said

He’s walking in your sleep now

He keeps your fat paranoia well-fed

He drops a capsule in your drink

And spikes your dreams with madness

The sanity assassin

Stays up all night stalking

The sanity assassin

Picks off victims like flies

The sanity assassin

Let his fingers do the walking

The sanity assassin

The crack shot between your eyes

He’s got you in his sights

He drops a capsule in your drink

And spikes your dreams with madness

The razor in your head

He’s the poison in your poison

Drops a capsule in your drink
