Like Lovers Do

Seen holding sermon like some holy Joe
Trained like the pet granted best in show
The podium’s soothing for your prize photo
But you’re never gonna win me around

Headed to the bottom of the lake, what a drag
Like eleven little kitties and a stone in a bag
Everyone’s gotta head nowhere fast
I’d rather head there than back

Reminiscing sure do come at a cost
Like a pretty picture of a love long lost
It stings you in the stomach and your heart is tossed
You won’t get it back no matter tough the loss
Those memories I just gun down

So darling won’t you rest your pretty head for a while
Have a sworn break from the rancid and vile
Oh my dear, I’m dying to
If you only ever knew
How those crocodiles they chew
Teeth seek sinking into ever and ever
Won’t you take me around

So now you’ve crossed country through the air again
Storming out a cloud of X, K and cocaine
Roaring through the air on a train with wings
Most days just aren’t meant to last

Plenty sweetness midst the turmoil was a fact, I’d say
Love and kind gestures in the disarray
A closeness rare as snow in the month of May
I think back on you each day
Settled in a permanent past

So darling won’t you rest your pretty head for a while
Have a sworn break from the rancid and vile
Oh my dear, I’m dying to
If you only ever knew
How those crocodiles they chew
Teeth seek sinking into ever and ever
Won’t you spin me around

Like lovers do
Like lovers do
Like lovers do
Like lovers do
