TROUBLE LYRICS
"Assassin" (1984 Single)
1. Assassin
2. Tales Of Brave Ulysses
1. Assassin
On earth there are men who take
Lives of those who care enough to help
What gives you the right
To put man's life in your hands
You're a cold-blooded killer
You must be insane
Revolting against the human race
Don't give a damn about anyone
What gives you the right
To put man's life in your hands
You're a cold-blooded killer
You must be insane
Assassin, were you sent from hell
To destroy one more chance for peace
What gives you the right
To put man's life in your hands
You're a cold-blooded killer
You must be insane
Stupid man of hate
2. Tales Of Brave Ulysses
You thought the leaden winter would bring you down forever,
But you rode upon a steamer to the violence of the sun.
And the colors of the sea blind your eyes with trembling mermaids,
And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave Ulysses:
How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing,
For the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss their white laced lips.
And you see a girls brown body dancing through the turquoise,
And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea.
And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body,
Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind.
The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers,
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.
Her name is Aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell,
And you know you cannot leave her for you touched the distant sands
With tales of brave Ulysses; how his naked ears were tortured
By the sirens sweetly singing.
The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers,
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.
