lyrics

The angels tell you, “Only perfect, perfect love will save us from the world, and only perfect people get that kind of love” It’s not as if you haven’t tried a hundred thousand times. It’s not as if you haven’t spent your life reminding yourself: they say, “It won’t happen,” but if someone loves you madly, you won’t have to listen anymore, and they are gonna tell you a hundred thousand times, and you will take it, and you’ll shut your mouth. “Love is a needle, love is everything you’ve ever wanted, in the space of fifty seconds in the space above the air.” Love is forever, love is something in the water, something in a plane, a hundred thousand miles above the air, they’re singing: “It’ll never happen,” but if someone loves you madly. you won’t have to listen anymore, and they are gonna tell you a hundred thousand times, and you will take it, and the angels tell you, “You can’t have it,” but if you want it that badly, who can really stop you? It’s about time you opened up your eyes and figured it out. It’s not as if you haven’t spent your life, as if you haven’t spent your whole life telling yourself. It’s not as if you haven’t tried the needle, not as if you haven’t tried the smoke and pills, as if you haven’t tried what they say. What they say: “It won’t happen,” but if someone loves you madly, you won’t have to listen anymore, and they are gonna tell you a hundred thousand times, nd you will take it, and the angels tell you, “You can’t have it,” but if you want it so badly, who can really stop you? it’s about time you open up your eyes and figure it out, and figure it out. They say, “It won’t happen,” but if someone loves you madly, you’re invisible to angels, and at first they’ll see through your disguise, and you will smile, and you will shut your mouth, but it’ll happen that when someone loves you madly, they won’t see you anymore, and you will have to practice at least a thousand times before you figure it out. Figure it out.
