Lyrics
I live and die by the hot and cold in stranger's eyes (mm-mm, mm, mm-mm, mm)
But danger lies behind the tape across my door (mm-mm, mm, mm-mm, mm)
I know a place where angels lace the lemonade (mm-mm, mm, mm-mm, mm)
And I cannot stay where all the broken plans were made (mm-mm, mm, mm-mm, mm)
Broken devotion
Can I jump in the gun
And fly over the ocean?
Can I jump in the gun?
And string up a net across Lafayette
And sing of my deeds while I'm gone
And I'll spin some lies to tell you upon
My return from the ends of the earth
She and I were death-defying promenade (mm-mm, mm, mm-mm, mm)
She and I were profligate as de rigeur (mm-mm, mm, mm-mm, mm)
She and I were for a button, tailor-made (mm-mm, mm, mm-mm, mm)
She and I won't find another me and her (mm-mm, mm, mm-mm, mm)
Oh, broken devotion
Can I jump in the gun
And fly over the ocean?
Can I jump in the gun?
And string up a net across Lafayette
And sing of my deeds while I'm gone
And I'll spin some lies to tell you upon
My return from the ends of the earth
Oh, love, like a sun-dial harbor
Oh, love, like a falling harp
Oh, my love, give her wings and have her
Oh, my love, gotta be loved upon
Oh, broken devotion
Can I jump in the gun
And fly over the ocean?
Can I jump in the gun?
And string up a net across Lafayette
And sing of my deeds while I'm gone
And I'll spin some lies to tell you upon
My return from the ends of the earth
