Cry like you feel,
Try like you feel, feel it …!
Try to escape,
Cry to escape, escape it …!
It’s so hard to run away
He’s a virgin killer …

No, no, no, can’t you see?
No, no, no, can’t you see?
You’re a demon’s, you’re a demon’s,
You’re a demon’s desire!

Death on the screen,
Sadistic magazines, watch out
Suicides ev’ryday,
Political ways, get it
Well, you can’t find new ways …
But he’s a virgin killer …

No, no, no, can’t you see?
No, no, no, can’t you see?
You’re a demon’s, you’re a demon’s,
You’re a demon’s desire!

Garbage in the streams,
A-bombs in your dreams, look out
Sharks in the pictures,
Exorcist prescriptions, forget it
Try to get away from that,
Cos he’s a virgin killer …

No, no, no, can’t you see?
No, no, no, can’t you see?
You’re a demon’s, you’re a demon’s,
You’re a demon’s desire!
