  • Ooh ooh
    You better never tell nobody but God,
    All the things I've seen.
    From high above this haunted city,
    Under elected thrones of thieves.

    Where mighty men lay down their hearts
    In the service of their queens.
    And gave their bodies to be burned
    Like I did before your feet.

    Like she always tried for me, (Ooh ooh)
    Like now she does for me (Ooh ooh)
    Ooh ooh

    And underneath the tyranny of august and her sons,
    Who sent fire from their fingertips in the holy vow of a teenage kiss.
    Now we're much too old for this,
    And I don't feel those kinds of things.

    So don't you cry for me, (Ooh ooh)
    I used to feel everything. (Ooh ooh)
    Ooh ooh

    Oh but love (run, run, run)
    Oh but love (run, run, run)
    Oh but love (Love, love, love becomes)
    Oh but love (Love, love, love becomes)
    Love, love, love becomes
    Love, love, love becomes
    And all my love becomes
    And all my love, my love
    Became blood on stray paper.
    Became blood on stray paper.
    Became blood on stray paper.
    Became blood on stray paper.
    Became blood on stray paper.
    Became blood on stray paper. Writer/s: BRIAN FALLON
