Black heart's comin', he?s a cold machine Cuts like a knife, gentle and clean Face like an angel, mind of a killer Nobody else gonna love her better Lay down now stay down Took her life with a quick pull trigger (Yeah, yeah, yeah) Well I don?t mind, I don?t mind (Yeah, yeah, yeah) Said I don?t mind if you don?t mind The color is all but faded Out of a dead man's eyes Down to his blackened heart Black heart's kickin' like a beating drum Shooting her down the sound of his gun No compassion, hard as an assassin Falling deeper still in that reckless fashion Lay down now stay down Deeper and deeper with a blind man's passion (Yeah, yeah, yeah) Well I don?t mind, I don?t mind (Yeah, yeah, yeah) Said I don?t mind if you don?t mind The color is all but faded Out of a dead mans eyes Down to his blackened heart Rescue me (If you don?t mind) [x3] If you don't mind The color is all but faded Out of a dead man's eyes Down to his blackened heart (Yeah, yeah, yeah) (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
