lyrics

A Shore Leave Slaughter

Three months at sea and he's feeling hungry
He's looking for a bite
He's searching hard for some shore leave sundry
clutching a Benji tight
Around the corner she's waiting for him
A siren in the night
A silloette like a mud flap beauty
She'll do his demons right

Oh Desiree you've done it once again
You're a nasty lady killer to the end
With a beauty overwhelming your victims never see
your violent hand of death around the bend

She is a lady of ill intention
A walking switchblade knife
She puts he efforts the wrong direction
every single night
Down the street she meets her connection
Another wretched life
This woman loves like a diamond tiger
She's turning out the lights

Desiree you've done it once again
You're a nasty lady killer to the end
With a beauty overwhelming your victims never see
your violent hand of death around the bend

Monday she cleans up her mess from Sunday
A severed head and fingers on the ground
Tuesday she cleans out her car from Monday
Guts and brains and a bloody wedding gown
Wednesday morning finds her at the harbor
Drinking gin when the blood is all around
When Thursday comes she's busy in the forrest
Stashing mangled bodies underground

A knife, an axe and an invitation
She puts em all on ice
She is a lady of dark temptation
Your money and your life
Down the street she's a shore leave slaughter
A murderous fishwife
This woman loves like a diamond tiger
She's turning out the lights

Oh Desiree you've done it once again
You're a nasty lady killer to the end
With a beauty overwhelming your victims never see
your violent hand of death around the bend
