Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Maybe that it would do me good
[Verse 2]
If I believed there was a god
Out in the starry firmament
As it is that's just a lie
And I'm here eatin' up the boredom
On an island of cement
Give me your ecstasy I'll feel it
Open window and I'll steal it
Baby, like it's heaven sent
This ain't no love that's guiding me
[Verse 3]
Some days I'm burstin' at the seams
[Verse 4]
With all my half remembered dreams
And then it shoots me down again
I feel the dampness as it creeps
I hear you coughin' in your sleep
Beneath a broken window pane
Tomorrow girl I'll buy you chips
A lollipop to stain your lips
And it'll all be right as rain
This ain't no love that's guiding me
[Verse 5]
This ain't no love that's guiding me
No, it ain't no love guiding me
[Verse 6]
No, it ain't no love guiding me
No, it ain't no love guiding me
This ain't no love that's guiding me
[Verse 7]
This ain't no love that's guiding me
On winter trees the fruit of rain
Is hangin', tremblin' in the branches
Like a thousand diamond buds
Waiting there in every pause
That old familiar fear that claws you
Tells you nothing ain't no good
Pullin' back you see it all
Down here so laughable and small
Hardly a quiver in the dirt
This ain't no love that's guiding me
