lyrics

LOVE X'D OUT

So you took a couple of sleeping pills
& your fever is going down
& your heart feels like a parking lot
and the girl in the window she likes you a lot
but something inside you is starting to rain
and it looks like thunder
and it feels like pain

1 strike gone
2 strikes you're out
who made these rules
with love crossed out?

Yesterday morning a suicide
by a kid in a lonely town
everyone liked him but nobody knew
of the love that brought him down
a feeling inside him had scared him to death
he was real good in english
& you know the rest

CHORUS

Remember the famous photographer
the one with the pretty face
he shot what he wanted, he didn't care
if you got his point too late
his bodies were naked, engorged with life
the silence it the galleries
you could cut it with a knife

CHORUS

The best man I know is not doing well
his legs are as thin as sticks
& tho' his body is shot to Hell
his spirit is a strong as a brick
I will love him forever no matter what
I just want him back
the way he was

CHORUS

All I want is you
Nothing else will do
All I want is you
