The Nature Of Love

Go!
Love
Hey!
Love
Love is like an open hand
Stings a little when it lands
Hold me closer
Hold me tighter
Hold me so damn close that my heart's on fire
It's a fantasy
It's a nightmare
And the whole damn world is walking round in theirs

Love
I said love
Love
Love is like a razor blade
Double edge and double pain
Hold me closer
Hold me tighter
When I rip your flesh and the pain is fresh
It's a fantasy
It's a nightmare
And the whole damn world doesn't seem to care

Love
I said love
("This is the United States, alright, and in the United States today, if a man wants to beat his own animal that's his business.")
Love
Love ("And the subject position: horizontal")
Love ("And the subject position: vertical")
Love ("There were no anti-cruelty laws")
Love ("Brain damage")
Huh!

Love
Love is like a butcher knife
Double sharp for single lives
Hold me closer
Hold me tighter
As the lights go out and we start to shout (Huh!)
It's a fantasy
It's a nightmare
With a big black bruise and a handful of hair
Love
I said love

Love
I'm not finished yet!
Love
Go!

Love
Love ("There were no anti-cruelty laws")
Love ("The entire apparatus was then vibrated up and down")
Love ("If a man wants...")
Love ("Brain damage")
Love ("Yes?")
Love ("Brain damage")
Love ("If a man wants to beat his own animal that's his business.")
Love ("There were no anti-cruelty laws")
Love ("Brain damage")
