Testo di War Love

Before we start to fall apart Before we leave for unknown parts I will Make good and settle the bill You pulled me out of the tiger's mouth You cleaned me up and turned me round to face The burdens that I erased The burdens that I could not face The Gods above Are making love Throwing thunder and causing floods To wreck the towers that we erect Language tries to pacify Even when our tongues are tied we go On talking of what we know Talking while exchanging blows War love War love Is that all it really was? A war love A war love Beneath the breath of seconds stretched Beneath the sky's big blue dress you stand Frozen as the night watchman's hands Guarding what alone you trust Upon the shelf beneath the dust That lines the pastures of your mind The pastures where your secrets reside War love War love Is that all it really was? A war love A war love
