-Verse 1
Maybe that it would do me good
If I believed there were a god
Cut in the starry firmament
But as it is that s just a lie
*
And I m here eating up the boredom
On an island of cement
Give me your ecstasy I ll feel it
Open window and I ll steal it
Baby like it s heaven sent
This ain t no love that s guiding me
-Verse 2
Some days i m bursting at the seams
with all my half remembered dreams
and then it shoots me down again
i feel the dampness as it creeps
I hear you coughing in your sleep
beneath a broken window pane
tomorrow girl i ll buy you chips
a lollipop to stain your lips
and it ll all be right as rain
this ain t no love that s guiding me
this ain t no love that s guiding me
no i-t a-in t no love guiding me
no i-t a-in t no love guiding me
no i-t a-in t no love guiding me
this ain t no love that s guiding me
this ain t no love that s guiding me
on winter trees the fruit of rain
is hanging trembling in the branches
like a thousand diamond buds
and waiting there in every pause
that old familiar fear that claws you
tells you nothing ain t no good
then pulling back you see it all
down here so laughable and small
hardly a quiver in the dirt
finish -
this ain t no love that s guiding me
