Before we start to fall apart
Before we leave for unknown parts I will
Make good and settle the bill
You pulled me out of the tiger's mouth
You cleaned me up and turned me round to face
The burdens that I erased
The burdens that I could not face
The Gods above
Are making love
Throwing thunder and causing floods
To wreck the towers that we erect
Language tries to pacify
Even when our tongues are tied we go
On talking of what we know
Talking while exchanging blows
War love
War love
Is that all it really was?
A war love
A war love
Beneath the breath of seconds stretched
Beneath the sky's big blue dress you stand
Frozen as the night watchman's hands
Guarding what alone you trust
Upon the shelf beneath the dust
That lines the pastures of your mind
The pastures where your secrets reside
War love
War love
Is that all it really was?
A war love
A war love
