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
