we had our hearts tricked

we had it all worked out

we had the bad years planned in advance



we had our hearts tricked

we'd worked it out

but then it all fell apart so fast



we watched the wires trip

the power surged

we had it ripped right out of our hands



it took her hostage

and wore her down

we made a wish that no one could grant



and now we're huddled here

naked sore and cold

it's been severe



she had her heart tricked

she had it all worked out

she had her bad years planned in advance



he had his heart tricked

they had it all worked out

that they had years left of happy romance



but then all the needles

and damage done

in the end just lessened the chance



they had their hearts tricked

the power surged

they had it ripped right out of their hands



and now we're huddled here naked sore and alone

and we can't see clear



just the thought of this is sickening

to live out all our years without you here

just the thought of this is sickening



we had our hearts tricked

we had it all worked out

we had the bad years planned in advance



she had our hearts tricked

but the power surged

and she was ripped right out of our hands

all in advance
