Oh love, you were a sickly child
|
And how the wind knocked you down
|
Put on your spurs, swagger around
|
In the desperate kingdom of love
|
|
Holy water cannot help you now
|
Your mysterious eyes cannot help you
|
Selling your reason will not bring you through
|
The desperate kingdom of love
|
|
There's another who looks from behind your eyes
|
I learn from you how to hide
|
From the desperate kingdom of love
|
|
At the end of this burning world
|
You'll stand proud, face upheld
|
And I'll follow you, into Heaven or Hell
|
And I'll become, as a girl
|
In the desperate kingdom of love
|
