Dead for Love

The only rule to stay alive

Just keep breathing you'll be fine

You know she's pulling up outside

The car lights crawl across the curtain

So put the gun back on the wall

Take the suitcase from the wardrobe

There's a dead man on the floor

He's not going anywhere

You're moving to the door

And everything he ever did

He only ever did for love

Everything he ever said

He only ever said for love

And now, now he lies dead,

He's dead for love

His mind's at ease, he sleeps in peace

Your reflection in her eyes

You just don't recognise

And soon you'll realise

This guy's not going anywhere

Now he's done with you once more

Race with the shadows to the door

A guy like this needs to be sure

No one was there was there when the devil rode out before

And everything he ever did

He only ever did for love

Everything he ever said

He only ever said for love

And now, now he lies dead,

Oh he's dead for love

His mind's at ease, he sleeps in peace

In English shadows you will walk tall

And there you'll stay until you fall

And when the final hour arrives

It's only lovers left alive

Wretched souls and gangsters' molls

Beyond the valley of the dolls

The story they will never tell

Because their lips are sealed

And everything you ever did

You only ever did for love

And everything you ever said

You only ever said for love

And now, now he lies dead,

Oh he's dead for love

Your mind's at ease, you sleep in peace

And everything you ever did

You only ever did for love

And everything you ever said

You only ever said for love

And now, now he lies dead,

Oh he's dead for love

Your mind's at ease, you sleep in peace
