Ivory Road

You're the nose on my bullet

The trigger on my gun

You're the sandbank in the ocean

Oxygen in my blood

You're the fastest of the fish

You're the prickliest pear

You're a chameleon in the night

You're the Sahara's sun glare

You're my mind's rest

You're the strings on my guitar

You're the wax in my mustache

The keys to my car

You're the magical mermaid's

Hollowed illusion

You cool them, fool them

And they hope so much

And you let them down

And you watch from your rock

And your heart beats fast

As you watch theirs stop

I will keep on loving

'Cause I believe in love

I don't mind dying

If you follow me up

Your victory's your defeat

Your head above your heart

Only the brave surrender

Death cannot tear us apart

Death cannot tear us apart

Death cannot tear us apart

Death cannot tear us apart

Well, my smile is wider

Than yours when we meet

And the winter is colder

For me underneath

And I know that you glow

From the inside out

You can keep it for yourself

And I'll go without

You are the fire

And I'm the chimney

You'll burn away

And I'll choke on your memory

All the words, my sense

You're the poet to my pen

You're the dream that brings

The morning sadness

Start the day storm in my head

Well, you're the Oscar Wilde

Short stories in my bookcase

You're positively fourth street

Isolated in my iTunes

You're the word in the dictionary

That I can't spell

Can't describe, can't put in a sentence

But use all the time

Your own pair of trousers

Look better on me

The boots of Spanish leather

And the bottom of the sea

Every symbol of love

That doesn't relate to a meaning

Every feeling, every sensation

Only real when I'm dreaming

I will keep on loving

'Cause I believe in love

I don't mind dying

If you follow me up

Your victory's your defeat

Your head above your heart

Only the brave surrender

Death cannot tear us apart

Wild horses in the wilderness

Will know no journey home

Well, my love is locked in chains

The lion walks alone

Well, the lion walks alone

Nature is cruel

But he knows it's his home

He to his demons

And you to your own

Please let me stand by you

And we'll conquer them all

We will conquer them all

Oh, I will conquer them all

Oh, I will conquer them all

Oh, I will conquer them all
