Love is a Burning Question

We work through the rituals and cover our poisonous tracks Making good use of weaknesses, horoscopes, rumors and facts Inspired by the needles and pins and the pains in the heart With no control over the chemistry that brings us then tears us apart Now we're as hard, as hard as nails Laugh at the butterfly that's just been impaled We're always running and don't know what we're running from We're always sweating bricks The only time the world makes sense to us is when we come Love is a burning, love is a burninglove is a burning question On the tip of your tongue, baby baby I'll endlessly make you and endlessly become remade I'll endlessly search for your heart with a carnal switchblade, As we thrash in the heat in an effort to beat up the world Then we loose our identities replace them with diamonds and pearls Don't be as hard as hard as nails You might be born to win and then your heart fails Get on my wavelength understand my driving force It's sin and sin alone I wouldn't lie to you unless I had to of course Love is a burning, love is a burninglove is a burning question Don't answer no Don't make me take a look just let me off the hook I've seen the future of rock and it sucks, yeah, it sucks I've used you you're bleeding I know but don't be afraid It's only a wound only a wound from a carnal switchblade We're always running and don't know what we're running from We're always so convinced But the more we run the more it just slips through our fingertips Love is a burning, love is a burninglove is a burning question On our lips baby baby
