In the golden age of love's architecture
Shakespeare was lying drunk in a ditch
Scribbling out his rapture
While getting his pocket picked
He said
"Lust is a subscription
Passion's what its worth
Greed is a conviction
Love's a dirty word"
It'll bring you down to earth
Love is a dirty word
From a bird's eye view you can see it
It's sublime and it's absurd
You can buy it and you can sell it
But nobody's figured out how to make it work
You can talk about it like a lawyer, you can call it a crutch
But in the end its all buried treasure underneath the mud
It'll bring you down to earth
Love is a dirty word
Down the snakes and up the ladders
Blank eyed moon is my crush
Miss young belle want's me a disaster
But I'm still waiting on the sucker punch
Yeah, it's a dirty, it's a dirty, it's a dirty word
It's a dirty, it's a dirty, it's a dirty word
It's a dirty, it's a dirty, it's a dirty word
It's a dirty, it's a dirty, love is a dirty word
You get blind and you get burned
Get hung up and you get hurt
But it brings you down to earth
