Lyrics

Renegades from grief trying to find A shipload of gold from the mine I said lovers living on what went wrong Spent our time on a coral reef Abandoned ship when we lost our teeth I said lovers living on what went wrong What about living in magic hour? Can't find the lock to the marble tower I said lovers living on what went wrong You found an orphan on your step You cut its mind on your bicep, yeah Living on what went wrong Then comes a dream, beats to a chime Foreign fire engines on your mind I said lovers living on what went wrong Talk about jewels, talk from fools Everyone's trying to get through school I said lovers living on what went wrong The money's down, the race is on You can't find a kidney in Hong Kong I said lovers living on what went wrong What about Louie and Marie? They lost their heads at the jamboree I said lovers living on what went wrong There's JFK and LBJ Gotta learn to tango in the USA I said lovers living on what went wrong Live like a freak child 'til they fill ya Living next door to a serial killer Lovers living on what went wrong Live in a town with seven hills Can't get to sleep, I need my pills I said lovers living on what went wrong You hear someone at your door Knock, knock, knock, do they still want more? I said lovers living on what went wrong I'm burned out on the trail Cut loose by betrayal Returned all your mail Oh, what went wrong? I wanna know what went wrong I oughta know what went wrong I wanna know what went wrong Shoot that rifle, ducks on a ledge Know what I mean, don't hedge your bets I said lovers living on what went wrong Pick up a phone, call it experience If you're lucky they call it genius Lovers living on what went wrong See that shape in the fog Coming at ya foaming like a dog I said lovers living on what went wrong But you don't mind, no, you don't care If it's gonna get ya it'll get ya anywhere I said lovers living on what went wrong Everyone's afraid, everyone's scared No one wants their soul bared I said lovers living on what went wrong Well, mother, father, daughter, son They all think that they're the only ones I said lovers living on what went wrong Well, some rob graves, some get sick Some bang nails, I couldn't give a tick Lovers living on what went wrong What about the stars if you want more? They're just holes in heaven's floor I said lovers living on what went wrong You saw it fall, you saw it crack I tell you now, he ain't coming back I said lovers living on what went wrong Between destruction and celebration You got the lip, you're the pin-up of the nation Lovers living on what went wrong Just chat about a worm, how it screws I don't care if you got loose I said lovers living on what went wrongCover it up, lie in the shade If you don't get it right you'll be cut by the blade I said lovers living on what went wrong You can shave your head, grow a beard I'll bet Joan of Arc was never that weird I said lovers living on what went wrong You burned out on the trail Filled your wounds with hail Abandoned without bail Oh what went wrong? I wanna know what went wrong Tell me what went wrong I wanna know what went wrong
