You better never tell nobody but God All the things I've seen From high above this haunted city Under elected thrones of thieves Where mighty men lay down their hearts In the service of their queens And gave their bodies to be burned Like I did before your feet Like she always tried for me Like now she does for me
And underneath the tyranny of August and her sons Sent fire from their fingertips And the holy vow of the teenage kiss Now we're much too old for this And I don't feel those kinds of things Don't you cry for me I used to feel everything
Oh but love (Love, love, love becomes)
And oh my love becomes And oh my love love Became blood on stray paper (6x)
