Peter Perrett
Master of Destruction
[Intro]
(You used to have a hold on me)
(You used to have a hold on me)
[Verse 1]
You used to have a hold on me but now the spell is broken
You used to have a hold on me but now I am awoken
You drew me in against my will (Against my will)
Potent siren highly skilled (Highly skilled)
[Chorus]
You are the monster of destruction
You specialize in breakin' hearts
So many times you fail to realize the pain that you have caused
You are the mistress of seduction
You specialize in the dark arts
So many times you fail to realize the pain that you impart
(You used to have a hold on me)
(You used to have a hold on me)
(You used to have a hold on me)
(You used to have a hold on me)
[Verse 2]
Give me some strength to resist your existence (Give me strength, oh Lord)
Give me some strength to resist your persistence (Give me strength, oh Lord)
Trapped in a magnetic field (Magnetic field)
Losin’ touch with what is real (What is real)
[Chorus]
You are the monster of destruction
You specialize in breakin' hearts
So many times you fail to realize the pain that you will cause
You are the mistress of seduction
You specialize in the dark arts
So many times you fail to realize the pain that you impart
[Refrain]
Don't know why I keep returnin’ to a place I know that's bad
Don't know why I keep returnin' to a place I know that's bad
Don't know why I keep returnin' to a place I know that's bad
Don’t know why I keep returnin’ to a place—
[Chorus]
You are the monster of destruction
You specialize in the dark arts
So many times you fail to realize the pain that you impart
We're a poisonous combination
We specialize in breakin’ hearts
So many times we fail to realize the pain that we have caused
[Refrain]
Don't know why I keep returnin' to a place I know that's bad
Don’t know why I keep returnin' to a place I know that's bad
Don't know I keep on yearnin' for a love I'll never have
Don't know why I keep returnin' to a place I know that's bad
