King Saul fell on his sword
when it all went wrong
and Joseph's brothers sold him down the river for a song
and Sonny Liston rubbed some tiger balm into his glove
Some things you do for money
and some you do for love love love
Ras Kolnikov felt sick
but he couldn't say why
when he saw his face reflected
in his victim's twinkling eye
Some things you'll do for money
some you'll do for fun
but the things you do for love are gonna come back to you one by one
Love love is gonna lead you by the hand
into a white and soundless place
Now we see things
as in a mirror dimly
then we shall see each other
face
to face
And way out in Seattle
young Kurt Cobain
snuck out to the greenhouse
put a bullet in his brain
Snakes in the grass beneath our feet
rain in the clouds above
some moments last forever
but some flare out
with love love love
