Challis
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I am a rock
And you are glass
Never broken - never last
And if you're in my way I'll knock you down
It is a joke
I'll never laugh
Here's exactly how I see you in the light
You're like a tear in the ocean
Dust in the wind
Like a stone in the water
I'm gonna sleep with the devil's daughter
I am your shock
I am your shame
Another face without a name
And if you think I'm angry just come over
I need to tell
Just who you are
My description of the world I've seen so far
You're like a tear in the ocean
Dust in the wind
Like a stone in the water
I'm gonna sleep with the devil's daughter
I am a rock
And you are glass
If it's a joke
Nobody laugh
And even - When you know you're guilty still
You're right
You're like a tear in the ocean
Dust in the wind
Like a stone in the water
Like a spark in the fire
Dust in the sand
Like a stone in the water
I'm gonna run with the devil's daughter

Require, explanation. What is love?
Who is love? When is love? Where is love?
Why is love?
