Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh love, you were a sickly child
And how the wind knocked you down
Put on your spurs, swagger around
In the desperate kingdom of love
[Verse 2]
Holy water cannot help you now
Your mysterious eyes cannot help you
Selling your reason will not bring you through
The desperate kingdom of love
[Verse 3]
There's another who looks from behind your eyes
I learn from you how to hide
From the desperate kingdom of love
[Verse 4]
At the end of this burning world
You'll stand proud, face upheld
And I'll follow you, into Heaven or Hell
And I'll become as a girl
In the desperate kingdom of love
