I can see it move from your lips timed to the swing of your hips
In tune with the words that I spoke about buzzards
And how we're just like them, chew feelings in their infancy
I swore I saw you reaching out to me
And now baby we'll lose ourselves in our clothes
But when they come off well what are we left with
See I lost my love in the confusion of Chicago
But it's all she was and I don't believe in her anymore
That deeper meaning was forced to match your revival of sorts
We can coincide with whatever we chose to
See too often we spoke, with less words and more tongue
And our lisp of a love stuttered all over itself
Just as I refuse to agree that it's useless
Used up, a eunuch of feelings I can't recall
See I lost my love in the confusion of Chicago
But it's all she was and I don't believe in her anymore
I love what you are, the frailty in your heart
But who you are and that ain't the same after all
A wolf in her dress, a stranger donned in your flesh
My head and my heart can't seem to agree
Still there's one thing I know, this recognitions gone spiritual
And the totem you've become became a chore
So you dance in a flue smoked out of some strangers room
I hope when I get bored you won't be waiting around
My love we caused this lonely little ruckus
But it's of our creation, it's our helpless mouth to feed
My only hope in life is to amount to something
But we are only human and love is a dangerous thing
We are only human and love is a dangerous thing
