Give me the city
Give me the sea
Give to me everything I need
The future is shining
like a giant metal beast
It shines so bright tonight
with its legs open wide
And love is blind
falls in love with itself again
Like it never should
The way it always can
And she is mine
but the world is so much bigger now
Oh, tell me:
Should I hold her hand and give her love
or take her heart and throw it far away?
Oh, now is the time
to jump into it all
I'll just hold my nose
and try not to fall
To seek and to find
instead of walking around
with eyes glued to the sky
I turn them down to the ground
Oh and I used to think
that maybe one day
I'd find the love of my life
but it's so far away
Oh, I don't know why
Oh, but I want it all tonight
And love is blind
falls in love with itself again
Like it never should
The way it always can
And she is mine
but the world is so much bigger now
Oh, tell me:
Should I hold her hand and give her love
or take her heart and throw it far away?
We held hands
and we looked out of the bedroom window
We could see all the buildings collapsing around us
So we kissed
and we laid on the bed
and we waited for the ceiling to fall in
But it never did
In the morning it was all still there:
the spilt milk and the dog turds
in that grey ashtray morning light
I could hear thousands of people
and they were all singing this song
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
Hey butcher
Oh oh, hey butcher
What's your name?
Oh hey butcher, what's your game?
Oh, you take all their love
and you suck out their eyes
And then you rip out their hearts
and you eat their insides
Yeah, then you just walk away
with a smile on your face
Hey butcher, hey butcher
I've seen your face before
La na na na na na
na na na na na na
na na na na na na ...
And love is blind
