|
Sometimes you only have to move one rock
|
For an avalanche to start
|
Sometimes it only takes one smile
|
To get inside and mess around your heart
|
Ever since I met you we've been tumbling toward destruction
|
That's as certain as the setting of the sun
|
If I'd known I'd fall in love with you
|
I'd have fixed it so we never would have met
|
Never having known you
|
Would have made you so much easier to forget
|
You're about as good for me as I am good for you
|
And that's about as good as an avalanche is fun
|
And I wish that we were married
|
So we could get divorced
|
Get over this loving stuff
|
Let nature take its course
|
You can't choose who you love
|
Darling we're the living proof
|
So we'll ride this old landslide where it takes us
|
Headlong to the truth
|
I'm moving through this landscape
|
With all the grace of a two-legged mule
|
I try to stand a while
|
Then I accept it, I'm no exception to the rule
|
As I'm bouncing down this mountainside I am pleasantly confounded
|
But I'm worried that it's never going to stop
|
I'm thinking as I'm falling I hope I don't land
|
Where anyone will see me
|
I'd rather lay in solitude
|
Until the winds of time blow by to free me
|
But I've got the peace of mind of a skydiver whose parachute won't
|
open
|
In other words, I'm good to the last drop
|
CHORUS
|
And I got two-months' pay burning a hole in my pocket
|
It's a crazy thing
|
I don't know if I should move as far away as I can
|
Or buy you a wedding ring
|
And I wish that we were married
|
Hey maybe we would get divorced
|
If we get over this loving stuff
|
If nature takes that course etc.
