You're the nose on my bullet
|
The trigger on my gun
|
You're the sandbank in the ocean
|
Oxygen in my blood
|
|
You're the fastest of the fish
|
You're the prickliest pear
|
You're a chameleon in the night
|
You're the Sahara's sun glare
|
|
You're my mind's rest
|
You're the strings on my guitar
|
You're the wax in my mustache
|
The keys to my car
|
|
You're the magical mermaid's
|
Hollowed illusion
|
You cool them, fool them
|
And they hope so much
|
|
And you let them down
|
And you watch from your rock
|
And your heart beats fast
|
As you watch theirs stop
|
|
I will keep on loving
|
'Cause I believe in love
|
I don't mind dying
|
If you follow me up
|
|
Your victory's your defeat
|
Your head above your heart
|
Only the brave surrender
|
Death cannot tear us apart
|
|
Well, my smile is wider
|
Than yours when we meet
|
And the winter is colder
|
For me underneath
|
|
And I know that you glow
|
From the inside out
|
You can keep it for yourself
|
And I'll go without
|
|
You are the fire
|
And I'm the chimney
|
You'll burn away
|
And I'll choke on your memory
|
|
All the words, my sense
|
You're the poet to my pen
|
You're the dream that brings
|
The morning sadness
|
Start the day storm in my head
|
|
Well, you're the Oscar Wilde
|
Short stories in my bookcase
|
You're positively fourth street
|
Isolated in my iTunes
|
|
You're the word in the dictionary
|
That I can't spell
|
Can't describe, can't put in a sentence
|
But use all the time
|
|
Your own pair of trousers
|
Look better on me
|
The boots of Spanish leather
|
And the bottom of the sea
|
|
Every symbol of love
|
That doesn't relate to a meaning
|
Every feeling, every sensation
|
Only real when I'm dreaming
|
|
I will keep on loving
|
'Cause I believe in love
|
I don't mind dying
|
If you follow me up
|
|
Your victory's your defeat
|
Your head above your heart
|
Only the brave surrender
|
Death cannot tear us apart
|
|
Well, I wish we were animals
|
Free of loves games
|
I wish we were snails
|
With really big shells
|
|
I wish I was a lion
|
I'd be king of the wild
|
I'd command all the beasts
|
To carry you when you're tired
|
|
I'm the elephant in the circus
|
Oh, you're my trainer
|
You'd never let me go
|
But if you did I would stay here
|
|
In love there is freedom
|
But it must be returned
|
There must be sacrifice
|
Love must be learned
|
|
A donkey, a mule
|
A lifetime of work
|
In death he rests
|
His head from his reins
|
|
No burden to bare
|
But work left him lame
|
And the lion on the mountain
|
Chased from his pride
|
|
His lioness stolen, his rival survives
|
The sound of his cubs in death are dim
|
He knows his world well
|
No pain can defeat him
|
|
Wild horses in the wilderness
|
Will know no journey home
|
Well, my love is locked in chains
|
|
The lion walks alone
|
Oh, the lion walks alone
|
Nature is cruel
|
But he knows it's his home
|
|
He to his demons
|
And you to your own
|
Please let me stand by you
|
And we'll conquer them all
|
We will conquer them all
|
|
Oh, I will conquer them all
|
Oh, I will conquer them all
|
Oh, I will conquer them all
|
