love is death

Love is death; Love is death
That's what she said; she said, Love is death.

And I kind of believe that
I mean, that's my experience
I have been there; I HAVE BEEN THERE

She said, Love is death
and how is she supposed to know, I mean
She can't have felt this kind of fear grow

And you watch it in your friends' faces
and you see it on the streets
and I'm willing to bet no single person that she meets
Is like us in our freedom days
when we knew where the universe was
and its ways

We knew who we were
and what we were after
and she's just some kind of
Corporate benefactor

Her hair is plastered perfect
It's got that patented curl
It's got that TV look
You know that look

He walks that way
Every time he walks by
I have caught the corner of his eye
I have seen his lip twitch
When he looks my way
and babe I could see that every day
Every day of my life
I could see that
I could die

Nobody knows how I miss
your bearded cheek
your gentle kiss
and now you're gone...

Well, is that enough?
Is that enough?
What more do you want?
What more can I give?
Haven't I already outlived
others of my kind?
Past this fear

I know this
I see it clear...
