the price of love


met you in a dive bar
should have known the odds
dealing with fucking junkies
not with living gods
why am I drawn to tragedy?
I ask myself that question
looking into the mirror
seeking someone else's reflection
love is never a guarantee
against unending sorrow
take a chance, have a dance
we'll be dead by tomorrow
warming earth, dying sea
take my hand in this dark hour
a world for you, a world for me
if only we had the power
i live to take it
you take it to live
money is the difference
and no one's willing to give
i hate conformity
you conform to hate
lick your lips, covet me
there's nothing left to save
on a dying earth, a flaming sea
we'll be a power couple
i know you'll bend to the cause
because you're so damn supple
you fuck me like a champion
suck cock like its meth
only thing between you and freedom
will be your untimely death
if I'd found you in a dumpster
I'd throw you right back in
but i didn't and i need you
so let the pain begin
