You're the nose on my bullet
The trigger on my gun
You're the sandbank in the ocean
Oxygen in my blood
You're the fastest of the fish
You're the prickliest pear
You're a chameleon in the night
You're the Sahara's sun glare
You're my mind's rest
You're the strings on my guitar
You're the wax in my mustache
The keys to my car
You're the magical mermaid's
Hollowed illusion
You cool them, fool them
And they hope so much
And you let them down
And you watch from your rock
And your heart beats fast
As you watch theirs stop
I will keep on loving
'Cause I believe in love
I don't mind dying
If you follow me up
Your victory's your defeat
Your head above your heart
Only the brave surrender
Death cannot tear us apart
Well, my smile is wider
Than yours when we meet
And the winter is colder
For me underneath
And I know that you glow
From the inside out
You can keep it for yourself
And I'll go without
You are the fire
And I'm the chimney
You'll burn away
And I'll choke on your memory
All the words, my sense
You're the poet to my pen
You're the dream that brings
The morning sadness
Start the day storm in my head
Well, you're the Oscar Wilde
Short stories in my bookcase
You're positively fourth street
Isolated in my iTunes
You're the word in the dictionary
That I can't spell
Can't describe, can't put in a sentence
But use all the time
Your own pair of trousers
Look better on me
The boots of Spanish leather
And the bottom of the sea
Every symbol of love
That doesn't relate to a meaning
Every feeling, every sensation
Only real when I'm dreaming
I will keep on loving
'Cause I believe in love
I don't mind dying
If you follow me up
Your victory's your defeat
Your head above your heart
Only the brave surrender
Death cannot tear us apart
Well, I wish we were animals
Free of loves games
I wish we were snails
With really big shells
I wish I was a lion
I'd be king of the wild
I'd command all the beasts
To carry you when you're tired
I'm the elephant in the circus
Oh, you're my trainer
You'd never let me go
But if you did I would stay here
In love there is freedom
But it must be returned
There must be sacrifice
Love must be learned
A donkey, a mule
A lifetime of work
In death he rests
His head from his reins
No burden to bare
But work left him lame
And the lion on the mountain
Chased from his pride
His lioness stolen, his rival survives
The sound of his cubs in death are dim
He knows his world well
No pain can defeat him
Wild horses in the wilderness
Will know no journey home
Well, my love is locked in chains
The lion walks alone
Oh, the lion walks alone
Nature is cruel
But he knows it's his home
He to his demons
And you to your own
Please let me stand by you
And we'll conquer them all
We will conquer them all
Oh, I will conquer them all
Oh, I will conquer them all
Oh, I will conquer them all
