Lyrics

Love Is A Burning Question

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.

We work through the rituals and cover our poisonous tracks

Making good use of weaknesses, horoscopes, rumours and facts

Inspired by the needles and pins and the pains in the heart

With no control over the chemistry that brings us then tears us apart

Now we're as hard, as hard as nails

Laugh at the butterfly that's just been impaled

We're always running and don't know what we're running from

we're always sweating bricks

The only time the world makes sense to us is when we come

Love is a burning, Love is a burning Love is a burning question

on the tip of your tongue, baby baby

I'll endlessly make you and endlessly become remade

I'll endlessly search for your heart with a carnal switchblade,

As we thrash in the heat in an effort to beat up the world

Then we loose our identities replace them with diamonds and pearls

Don't be as hard as hard as nails

you might be born to win and then your heart fails

get on my wavelength understand my driving force

it's sin and sin alone

I wouldn't lie to you unless I had to of course

Love is a burning, Love is a burning Love is a burning question

don't answer no

Don't make me take a look just let me off the hook

I've seen the future of rock and it sucks, yeah, it sucks

I've used you you're bleeding I know but don't be afraid

it's only a wound only a wound from a carnal switchblade

We're always running and don't know what we're running from

we're always so convinced

But the more we run the more it just slips through our fingertips

Love is a burning, Love is a burning Love is a burning question

on our lips baby baby
