Lyrics
Shiv
It is a melancholy soundtrack
and you’re singing every word
we are each the culmination
of the pain we have endured
the road we ran was level
but the road ahead is steep
when it’s time for you to climb, Babe
you can climb up over me
Loves is a scalpel or love is a shiv
You live where it cut you or it cuts where you live
Of this you can be sure
It's all worth living for
Love comes as a stranger
when you're waiting for a friend
Empty Alabama highway
looks the same in both directions
clouds are cleverly concealing
my immaculate affection
The two of us were born together
when all the world was torn apart
And the trick to losing everything
is never opening your heart.
Loves is a scalpel or love is a shiv
You live where it cut you or it cuts where you live
Of this you can be sure
It's all worth dying for
Love comes as a stranger
when you're waiting for a friend
Love is a gamble, a double-dog dare
Baby, I love what you’ve done with your hair
You fell asleep reading
In the garden of Eden
Love came as a stranger
when you were waiting for a friend
