Lyrics

I have your good clothes in the car So cut your hair so no one knows I have your dreams and your teethmarks And all my fingernails are painted I'm here to take you now You were right about the end It didn't make a difference Everything I can remember I remember wrong How can anybody know How they got to be this way You must have known I'd do this someday Break my arms around the one I love And be forgiven by the time my lover comes Break my arms around my love Break my arms around the one I love And be forgiven by the time my lover comes Break my arms around my love I don't have any questions I don't think it's gonna rain You were right about the end It didn't make a difference I'm here to take you now Out among the missing sons and daughters of the Soho riots Out among the missing sons and daughters of the Soho riots I'm here to take you now How can anybody know How they got to be this way You must have known I'd do this someday Break my arms around the one I love And be forgiven by the time my lover comes Break my arms around my love Break my arms around the one I love And be forgiven by the time my lover comes Break my arms around my love Break my arms around the one I love
