We're on the negative side of love
|
I'm subject to all bizarre whims she fancies
|
I'm running escape to find the handle
|
Of the door she locks me up in
|
She's on the laughing side of sin
|
What have I done in all my past lives
|
(To end up on) This side of Love?
|
|
We're on a permanent twist of fate
|
She has dominion over time and torture
|
I'm pinching myself to convince me that
|
I'm in a living nightmare
|
The killer attraction of a dare
|
What have I done, emasculation
|
(To end up on) This side of Love?
|
|
If I should stay
|
(Will the beat go on?)
|
I must be strong
|
(We tell you every day)
|
Will I return
|
(To normal lovers again?)
|
Please peel my skin
|
('Cause my soul is burning)
|
|
We're on a roundabout whirl of scorn
|
The demons are smiling and the angels snoring
|
I feel like a stepchild Caeser that's been
|
Beaten and bruised to please her
|
Wearing a rusted ring of thorns
|
What have I done to piss the Gods off
|
(To end up on) This side of Love?
|
|
If I should stay
|
(Will the beat go on?)
|
I must be strong
|
(We tell you every day)
|
Will I return
|
(To normal lovers again?)
|
Please peel my skin
|
('Cause my soul is burning)
|
|
We're on the negative side of love
|
I see my condition as a sign of service
|
I'll snuggle up close to her knowing
|
That I'm practising my religion
|
Warming the barrel of a gun
|
|
This will be the deed that finds me next time
|
|
(On this side of)
|
(On this side of)
|
(On this side of) This side of Love
|
