Out of Love

Out of Love
 We can do this anywhere
 Up the hall, down the stairs
 The backyard porch
 Let the neighbors stare
 Car parked cold night
 In the moonlight
 At the door of the liquor store
 Where we just keep coming back for more
 What draws the line between you and me
 Who made up rules we can't see
 For reasons that remain a mystery?
 What is it about you and me?
 I know it's hard
 I know it's late
 I know a million other ways
 That I would rather spend my time
 You say you understand
 You say you relate
 And I always take the bait
 Is it too late?
 Shut-down pent-up
 Red light, fucked up
 Rusted diamonds, daggers dressed up
 Pretty pure hostility
 The wind it blows the cradle breaks
 Turn babies into garden snakes
 And our sun is sinking low
 The vultures circle high above
 Let's dive right in, let's kill this dove
 It may be lonely, but it's only out of love
 I put up my guard
 You say it's fate
 Then you fly a million miles away
 That's where you stay
 This isn't a game
 Do you know how it feels
 Could we try to make some kind of deal
 And make it real, real good
 Words like bullets down the hall
 I want it all
 I want it all
 I want it all
 (and that's the problem)
