If war is holy and sex is obscene We've got it twisted in this lucid dream Baptized in boundaries, schooled in sin Divided by difference, sexuality and skin Oh, so we can hate each other and fear each other We can build these walls between each other Baby, blow by blow and brick by brick Keep yourself locked in, yourself locked in Yeah, we can hate each other and fear each other We can build these walls between each other Baby, blow by blow and brick by brick Keep yourself locked in, yourself locked Oh, maybe we should love somebody Oh, maybe we could care a little more So maybe we should love somebody Instead of polishing the bombs of holy war What if sex was holy and war was obscene? And it wasn't twisted, what a wonderful dream Living for love, unafraid of the end Forgiveness is the only real revenge Oh, so we can heal each other and feel each other We can break these walls between each other Baby, blow by blow and brick by brick Keep yourself open, yourself open Yeah we can heal each other and feel each other We can break these walls between each other Baby, blow by blow and brick by brick Keep yourself open, you're open So maybe we should love somebody Maybe we could care a little more So maybe we should love somebody Instead of polishing the bombs of holy war What if love was holy and hate obscene? We should give life to this beautiful dream 'Cause peace and love ain't so far If we nurse our wounds before they scar Nurse our wounds before they scar

20 years to see New York reflected on subway trains 'Bout 20 more, I'll be 44, head back to Tampa Bay I killed a man there, in spite, and when he died, I took his place 18 made you callous to the kisses that you gave A coarse exchange, a caused for blame, and I stood out in the rain You killed a man there, and I cried, but the rain masked the hurt behind your face By the way dear, we're alive, and it hurts 'cause we survived it Goodbye love, and good luck in life And goodnight Chicago, die with a smile You'd have loved her, loved her But you won't, you don't know, no, no, no, no, no, no Don't shut down on me now, don't shut down on me Don't shut down on me now, don't shut down on me Don't wait until I drown to save me from it Goodnight Chicago, I killed a man to make you love me And the water's warm, filling up my head, I take Another one, Lord knows it's hard to stay Sober!

She's the edge between the sacred and profane And means at least one other language Y would never speak in Polite Company She's a dancer, lone riddle in the answer She auditioned for Romantics But no calls from the right company She'll never love the way you need her to, darlin' You'll never lift her at all She only wants the man she thinks is you, darlin' You'll only take her if you think you could lose So what if I don't find you, take you back? I only want what I can't have If you love me, give me nothing But Polite Company We're the dance among the drunklegs, a contest between Untied lace, pop-shoegaze, and 808 Heartbreak We both caught the pace of two hearts, offbeat What will hold you when the dance is through? Put your back against the wall Follow syncopated water fountain conversation Making love inside a crayon covered bathroom stall What if I don't find you, take you there? I only want what I can't have If you love me, give me nothing Nothing Some simple math Two I can add I ain't writing it down I remember now what you came for, where your aim is Maintain it Try to burn the right glow I'll be on my way out I'll be over soon Sober later Fire that only I'd know You've been on my Radar Are you lonely too? 'Cause your coast is clear to get a hold on me She's the edge between the cadence of my name And on these walls another language we would never speak In Polite Company
