Though the whole world be blown apart

No matter how dumb or how smart

Still beats beneath the rocky rumble

The dead lover's twisted heart

It's too late to stop or start

Anything else would never reach great art

'Cept the lonely faithful longing

The dead lover's twisted heart

Though the wind is blowing free

And the sun is shining happy

Though your faces show no sympathy

For buried deep beneath the shopping mart

The dead lover's twisted heart

Though this story sad it is

Wrapped in sorrow, borne of mystery

It was years of painless suffering

The dead lover's twisted heart
