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)
