Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Love forsaken, risk worth takin'
Spearmint flavors, all my pallet shudders
I'm a member of shattered illusions
And am I, needless to say
Another song, this is nothing new
[Verse 2]
But love is big in every land
Every nation seeks its friends in France and Italy
And all across the seven seas
And goddamn guns and guts and history
And bitter love still put a hole in me
[Verse 3]
Bite my head off, still my world will always be
A little risk worth takin'
Bite my hand off, still my world will always be
Another risk worth takin'
[Verse 4]
Gotta step out on a limb, swallow my pride
Surrender, not give myself away
Little measures all the the time
Become part of you, nothing new
Still half full for absolution, in my day there's no solution
[Verse 5]
And love is big in every land
Every nation seeks its friends in France and Italy
And all across the seven seas
And goddamn guns and guts and history, yeah
And bitter love still put a hole in me
[Verse 6]
Bite my head off, still my world will always be
A little risk worth takin'
Bite my hand off, still my world will always be
Another risk worth takin'
