lyrics

You've got it really good
at least that much is understood

You've got a lot of nerve
to say I don't deserve you

Did I hurt you
when I conquered all the earth for you
when I signed my life in blood to you
when I swallowed up the flood and struck the thunder of our love

We've got everything to lose
we've got papercuts and bruises
and constitutional abuses
in this the palace of our choosing

We could flee this dynasty
in paper wigs and latex faces
we could hide in distant places
places we once promised we'd destroy

We'll kill the killjoys
and sell the story to the tabloids
they'll sift for glory through the boring details
the gory details of our love

I've read the tea leaves
and I know that you will never leave me
and even though I know you won't believe me
I know I know I know I know I know I know we'll never die

The gods will find us
and with their sacraments they'll bind us
and they will cast our love behind us
leaving nothing to remind us
that we were once the greatest lovers in the world

They will cast our love behind us
leaving nothing to remind us
that we were once the greatest lovers in the world.
