I knew this one young girl who'd tell the trees and the grass

To read us all their favourite stories 'till we'd kiss and we'd laugh

And we'd write to the Devil, tell him he's a bad influence

'Cause it's not worth playing God when you're the story in the making

(Love, love)

Tiptoe through the crowd, their tiny faces, I can't bear

Till I tripped and found your body at the bottom of the stairs

I took you to the hospital where you didn't seem to care

You just smiled and asked the time, as its the story in the making

(Love... Ooh ooh ooh oh, Ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, Ooh ooh ooh oh, Ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, Ooh ooh ooh oh, Ooh ooh ooh ooh oh)

And it just wasn't right and you got sick and I got scared

I'd have had something to say if I had only been prepared

And the girl just left me shaking in the corners of my room

While your face is changing colour, the story in the making

(Ooh ooh ooh oh, Ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, Ooh ooh ooh oh, Ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, Ooh ooh ooh oh, Ooh ooh ooh ooh oh)

Lately I've been down 'cause there's a beast under the bed

And there's always something crawling between my feet and in my head

I take a long walk to the hospital but I couldn't stand the smell

'Cause you're always changing colour, the decrease in your health

Now I'm trapped between two devils; shiny teeth and shiny hair

There's an honest love to find somewhere

If we don't stop now we'll be dead by summer

Ooh... You tell me there's a reason why our love's collapsed

Ooh... We're tiny little creatures in a canister

Ooh...sing along...

Ooh... You tell me there's a reason why our love's collapsed

You tell me there's a reason that our love collapsed

It's just a feeling, but I'm linked to that
