Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We find ourselves on different sides
Of a line nobody drew
Though it all may be one
In the higher eye
Down here where we live it is two
[Verse 2]
I to my side call the meek and the mild
You to your side call the Words
By virtue of suffering I claim to have won
You claim to have never been heard
[Verse 3]
Both of us say there are laws to obey
Yeah, but frankly, I don't like your tone (Whoa)
You want to change the way I make love
(But I) I want to leave it alone (Whoa)
(Alone)
[Verse 4]
The pull of the moon
The thrust of the sun
Thus the ocean is crossed
(Ooh) The waters are blessed while a shadowy guest
Kindles a light for the lost
[Verse 5]
Both of us say there are laws to obey
But frankly, I don't like your tone (Whoa)
You want to change the way I make love
Yeah but, I want to leave it alone
[Verse 6]
(Ooh) Down in the valley the famine goes on
(Ooh) Famine up on the hill
(Ooh) I say that you shouldn't
You couldn't, you can't
(Ooh) You say that you must and you will
[Verse 7]
(Ooh) You want to live where the suffering is
(Ooh) I want to get out of town
(Ooh) Come on baby, give me a kiss
(Ooh) Stop writing everything down
[Verse 8]
Both of us say there are laws to obey
Yeah, but frankly, I don't like your tone (Whoa)
You want to change the way I make love
(But I) I want to leave it alone (Whoa)
[Verse 9]
Both of us say there are laws to obey
Frankly, I don't like your tone (Whoa)
You want to change the way I make love
(But I) I want to leave it alone (Whoa)
