The Desperate Kingdom of Love

[Verse 1]
Oh love, you were a sickly child
How the wind knocked you down
Put on your spurs, swagger around

[Chorus]
In the desperate kingdom of love

[Verse 2]
Holy water cannot help you now
Your mysterious eyes cannot help you
Selling your reason will not bring you through

[Chorus]
The desperate kingdom of love

[Verse 3]
There's another who looks
From behind your eyes
I learned from you
How to hide

[Chorus]
From the desperate kingdom of love

[Bridge]
And at the end of this burning world
You'll stand proud, face upheld
And I'll follow you into Heaven or Hell
And I'll become as a girl

[Chorus]
In the desperate kingdom of love
