  • We can fight our desires (ooh)
    But when we start making fires
    We get ever so hot (ooh)
    Whether we like it or not
    They say we can love who we trust (ooh)
    But what is love without lust?
    Two hearts with accurate devotions (ooh)
    What are feelings without emotions?

    I'm going in for the kill
    I'm doing it for a thrill
    Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand
    And not let go of my hand
    I'm going in for the kill
    I'm doing it for a thrill
    Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand
    And not let go of my hand

    I hang my hopes out on the line (ooh)
    Will they be ready for you in time?
    If you leave them out too long (ooh)
    They'll be withered by the sun
    Full stops and exclamation marks (ah) (ooh)
    My words stumble before I start
    How far can you send emotions? (Ooh)
    Can this bridge cross the ocean?

    I'm going in for the kill
    I'm doing it for a thrill
    Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand
    And not let go of my hand
    I'm going in for the kill
    I'm doing it for a thrill
    Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand
    And not let go of my hand

    Let's go to war to make peace
    Let's be cold to create heat
    I hope in darkness we can see
    And you're not blinded by the light from me

    Ooh

    I'm going in for the kill
    I'm doing it for a thrill
    Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand
    And not let go of my hand Writer/s: Benedict Langmaid, Eleanor Jackson
