give us a beat
for our halfway hearts and tenement teeth!
a beat
to fill up the room
theyll be splitting soon and dancing without feet
a song
when the days are long and your friends have gone
lock the door, it wont hurt no more
you wont feel the floor
its only love
its only love
we did this before its only love
and when the records done
let it scrape and scratch
lets drag up the past and dance
so give us a beat
for our halfway hearts and tenement teeth!
its only love
its only love
we did this before its 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
land
land
land
land
for our halfway hearts and tenement teeth!
