You Could Be Forgiven

Beneath the lights, the slease, the mayhem
Handome ads, and cool seduction
Everything is impossible and everything's so easy
Invasion of invented needs
Between the carrot and the stick
They fix you with their beastly eyes and smile

And if they darken your sweet soul
And if they ever let you go

Is your love, is it, strong enough, is it
Like a feast, is it, sweet or wild, is it
All of these things:...?
You could be forgiven

Into anchor-tattooed arms
Go sad-eyed dreamers bound for elsewhere
Lovers cling like the Pieta in style
Myth and sham, believe, believe
Your tears will end
You've got to feel this love
Please...

And if they darken your sweet soul
And if they ever let you go

Is your love, is it, strong enough, is it
Like a feast, is it, sweet or wild, is it
All of these things:...?
You could be forgiven
