Young Lovers Do

Life was always placid till you came

Brought a thousand years of angry rain

Caused a sandstorm on the way

Laughed at the dumb girls on the train

She spoke of her love like she spoke of her pain

The way that young lovers do

Young lovers do

"All of your habits are harmless," she says

Until you are filling a void in your bed

The metaphorical hole in your head

Addiction is fiction till the ego is fed

The way that young lovers do

Young lovers do

And I feel so alive, with everything I'm feeling tonight

I know I will cry for everything I'm feeling tonight

What do you see in the sky up above?

Don't need a god when I've got you to love

We live by the day 'cause tomorrow's another

Risk I will lose you and never recover

Ooh, and spiky heart monitors are better, she says, it's

Funny 'cause straight means your clinically dead

And loving and living are of the same thread

"I do not fear death when you kiss me," he said

The way that young lovers do

Young lovers do

And I feel so alive, with everything I'm feeling tonight

I know I will cry for everything I'm feeling tonight

Oh, I know I will cry for everything I'm feeling tonight

These violent delights, they have violent ends

Like fire and powder, their fate will descend

A kiss intertwining both killer and lover

The powerful play will soon take another
