Marie & Polonium Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Married in black and buried in lead
The most rock and roll thing that I might have ever heard
But what you supposed to do, do, do when
The world that you're changing just don't seem to like you?
[Pre-Chorus]
It ain't always easy being the smartest around
We can get so cruel when we don't understand
[Chorus]
Oh, love deeper even if it kills ya
Have no fear when you got the answers
Oh-oh, oh, 'cause Marie's got the answers
So love deeper even if it kills ya, oh
[Verse 2]
I picture you, you're leaving the streets of Warsaw
To Paris to face more closed doors, making trouble with your ideas
Well, there'll be tears of joy and grief, however, your work lives on forever
You're tethered to the wonders that you've found, to everything you found
[Chorus]
Oh, love deeper even if it kills ya
Have no fear when you got the answers
Oh-oh, oh, 'cause Marie's got the answers
So love deeper even if it kills ya, oh
Even if it kills ya
[Bridge]
When all's said and done
You honoured your home
Despite all the pain, you honoured its name
And worked away each day
[Chorus]
Oh, love deeper even if it kills ya
Have no fear when you got the answers
Oh, oh, 'cause Marie's got the answers
So love deeper even if it kills ya, oh
Even if it kills ya, oh
Even if it kills ya
Even though it kills ya

Dan Smith:
