The Heart I Know By Heart

Once upon a forgotten time
Before I was yours
And you were mine
And everything was fine
You were the heart I knew by heart

Who knew that someday we would meet
And sweep the swine
Off their feet?
You're sexy and you're sweet
You're the heart I know by heart

A hundred million years from now
I will still wonder how
It happened that I actually found
The heart I know by heart

All the times that I've been down
Submerged but unable to drown
Swimming all the way to Boston town
To find the heart I know by heart

Hey yo
Hey yo
Off to hell we'll probably go
The only thing I'll ever know
You're the heart I know by heart

I love the way you shake your wreath
I love the way you gnash your teeth
From way ahead
To far beneath
You're the heart I know by heart

And all I wanna do
Is make love to you
Everything you say is true
You're the heart I know by heart

Hey yo
Hey yo
Off to hell we'll probably go
The only thing I'll ever know
You're the heart I know by heart

And I don't believe in anything
Unless it makes no sense
And can't be seen
Your kisses taste like kerosene
You're the heart I know by heart

In grand style
And perfect form
We'll throw ourselves into the storm
You're the only one who can keep me warm
You're the heart I know by heart

Hey yo
Hey yo
Off to hell we'll probably go
The only thing I'll ever know
You're the heart I know by heart

Hey yo
Hey yo
Off to hell we'll never go!
The only thing I'll ever know
You're the heart I know by heart
