A Love Song Seven Ways

It starts so early now The sun has gone to Birkenau As shadows creep across your brow I love you just the same These freakish holidays That make us act like renegades A blood bath at the Ice Capades Just makes me love you More than i should ever have been allowed In a world of candy guns Sweet as demons in the candy apple sun Think it quiet but then don't sing it loud Through a world of number ones Pointed skyward at the candy apple sun It always used to snow The winters here like Buffalo Now it feels like Bamako I love you seven ways You wear those baby tees With pictures of atrocities You stare at me, oh honey please I still love you More than i should ever have been allowed In a world of candy guns Sweet as demons in the candy apple sun Think it quiet but then don't sing it loud To a world of number ones Pointed skyward at the candy apple sun With the fire of an outrageous crowd As it burns the stadium Swinging torches in the candy apple sun Someday we'll be halfway to the here and now But till then let's have some fun Licking letters in the candy apple sun You claim your joints and knees Predict weather catastrophes Because i worship how you breathe I love you seven ways
