Give us a beat
for our halfway hearts and tenement teeth!
a beat
to fill up the room
they? ll be splitting soon and dancing without feet
a song
when the days are long and your friends have gone
lock the door, it won? t hurt no more
you won? t feel the floor
it? s only love
it? s only love
we did this before it? s only love
and when the record? s done
let it scrape and scratch
let? s drag up the past and dance
so give us a beat
for our halfway hearts and tenement teeth!
it? s only love
it? s only love
we did this before it? s only love
recognized it right from the start
it was the sound of a breaking heart
are we hammering in our nails?
are we taking down the sails?
according to the pages in books
on modern psychology
a broken heart might not restart
and very well might follow me
down into the water, down into the water
and downward we descend
well i kissed your lips of ruby red
and this is what was said
