This Side of Love
We're on the negative side of loveI'm subject to all bizarre whims she fanciesI'm running escape to find the handleOf the door she locks me up inShe's on the laughing side of sinWhat have I done in all my past lives(To end up on) This side of Love?
We're on a permanent twist of fateShe has dominion over time and tortureI'm pinching myself to convince me thatI'm in a living nightmareThe killer attraction of a dareWhat have I done, emasculation(To end up on) This side of Love?
If I should stay(Will the beat go on?)I must be strong(We tell you every day)Will I return(To normal lovers again?)Please peel my skin('Cause my soul is burning)
We're on a roundabout whirl of scornThe demons are smiling and the angels snoringI feel like a stepchild Caeser that's beenBeaten and bruised to please herWearing a rusted ring of thornsWhat have I done to piss the Gods off(To end up on) This side of Love?
If I should stay(Will the beat go on?)I must be strong(We tell you every day)Will I return(To normal lovers again?)Please peel my skin('Cause my soul is burning)
We're on the negative side of loveI see my condition as a sign of serviceI'll snuggle up close to her knowingThat I'm practising my religionWarming the barrel of a gun
This will be the deed that finds me next time
