Love Or Death
Open up the door and let me in
I knew the well was dry when I returned to it again
And what I need I'll never have
'Cause it don't exist
Open up the door, time's gettin' thin
The earth will soldier on in its never-ceasing spin
And soldier on with it, we will
'Til we're good and dead
Don't you know you are my dearest friend?
You're hearing what I say but you are seeing only him
Who, like a mirror, just reflects
His lonely twin
You know his heart's as empty as his head
He's gesturing with broken arms, his feet are made of lead
And this is where the world ends
And I begin
You are on the outside
Always looking in
But I am on the inside
So goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!
Now my song is gettin' near its end
The metaphors are all used up, our seams are trailing threads
But if it isn't love or death
Then what is it?
