Lyrics

[Verse 1]

When the soul of the city

Was laid to rest

And the nights forgotten

And left for dead

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]

I happened on a house

Built of living light

Where everything evil

Disappears and dies

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]

When they love you, and they will (And they will)

Tell 'em all they'll love in my shadow

And if they try to slow you down (Slow you down)

Tell 'em all to go to hell

[Chorus]

When they love you, and they will (And they will)

Tell 'em all they'll love in my shadow

And if they try to slow you down (Slow you down)

Tell 'em all to go to hell

[Verse 3]

I settled in slowly

To this house that you call home

To blood and breath

Fear, flesh, and bone

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh

[Verse 4]

Blush of our bodies

In the heat of the night

All day the day after

Reddened the skies

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]

When they love you, and they will (And they will)

Tell 'em all they'll love in my shadow

And if they try to slow you down (Slow you down)

Tell 'em all to go to hell

[Chorus]

When they love you, and they will (And they will)

Tell 'em all they'll love in my shadow

And if they try to slow you down (Slow you down)

Tell 'em all to go to hell

[Verse 5]

It's a lifeless life

With no fixed address to give

But you're not mine to die for anymore

So I must live

[Verse 6]

Born of a bottle

From heaven's hand

And now you know

And here I am

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]

When they love you, and they will (And they will)

Tell 'em all they'll love in my shadow

And if they try to slow you down (Slow you down)

Tell 'em all to go to hell

[Chorus]

When they love you, and they will (And they will)

Tell 'em all they'll love in my shadow

And if they try to slow you down (Slow you down)

Tell 'em all to go to hell

[Chorus]

When they love me, and they will (And they will)

I'll tell 'em all they'll love in your shadow

And if they try to slow me down (Slow you down)

I'll tell 'em all to go to hell

[Chorus]

When they love me, and they will (And they will)

I'll tell 'em all they'll love in your shadow

And if they try to slow me down (Slow you down)

I'll tell 'em all to go to hell
