Man is cheap to run, not easily undone
His furnace burns a duller sun until his love is done
Head obeys the body, body's life is lonely
Lovers never knowing, the fire's heat is weak
The precious dead and long gone
Sat beside them so long
Spat them out a swan song
But left the lights all one
So cheap and badly framed
The weening and the waned
Hang thin across these days
And he can't be loved again

But I can, and I will
In our bed, that's where we'll live
The master of my callow heart
The die is cast, now
So where to start?
Sure enough, easy to love

Where exactly is the line that I drew the last time
Hand's have never been so dirty by design
Heaven opened up its gates, but I went round the back way
Had myself a long stay and left the way I came
So dig a little hole where the man can call his home
Where the silence fills the air, where the devil makes his lair
Or live a little larger, we can farm a little harder
We can walk a little farther and love a little, too

We're sailing hard upon the causeway
Strapped with nothing more to say
They'll pick apart any words you'll find
And you can't have mine
So are you ready to die?
Pinch yourself and feel alive
Sail away to the other place
With the pretty lawns and pearly gates
Send a letter when you arrive
Let me know that you'll be alright
In the vault, you can look inside
It'll probably be time

I can, and I will
In our bed, that's where we'll live
The bodies piled up in my mind
The die is cast, now
So where to start?
Sure enough, easy to love
