E A E A E A E A
|
We work through the rituals and cover our poisonous tracks
|
E A E A E A E A
|
Making good use of weaknesses, horoscopes, rumours and facts
|
Inspired by the needles and pins and the pains in the heart
|
With no control over the chemistry that brings us then tears us apart
|
A A C#m
|
Now we're as hard, as hard as nails
|
C#m A E
|
Laugh at the butterfly that's just been impaled
|
E A B A
|
We're always running and don't know what we're running from
|
A B C#m
|
we're always sweating bricks
|
E A B A
|
The only time the world makes sense to us is when we come
|
A C#m A C#m A C#m B
|
Love is a burning, Love is a burning Love is a burning question
|
B E E A E A
|
on the tip of your tongue, baby baby
|
|
I'll endlessly make you and endlessly become remade
|
I'll endlessly search for your heart with a carnal switchblade,
|
As we thrash in the heat in an effort to beat up the world
|
Then we loose our identities replace them with diamonds and pearls
|
Don't be as hard as hard as nails
|
you might be born to win and then your heart fails
|
get on my wavelength understand my driving force
|
it's sin and sin alone
|
I wouldn't lie to you unless I had to of course
|
Love is a burning, Love is a burning Love is a burning question
|
don't answer no
|
A C#m A C#m
|
Don't make me take a look just let me off the hook
|
A C#m A E
|
I've seen the future of rock and it sucks, yeah, it sucks
|
|
I've used you you're bleeding I know but don't be afraid
|
it's only a wound only a wound from a carnal switchblade
|
We're always running and don't know what we're running from
|
we're always so convinced
|
But the more we run the more it just slips through our fingertips
|
|
LAST CHORUS
|
Love is a burning, Love is a burning Love is a burning question
|
on our lips baby baby
|
|
(repeat last chorus and then fade "on our lips")
