Love Doesn't Belong

American Music Club · San Francisco [1994]

An agony waitin' for someone to tell you to shut up



But don't stop even if there's no moon to hold you



Or any other lifeless rock



I can tell you, put all your hopes into the shoes you buy



Your loneliness has feet that walk and it's got wings that fly



And it does sing a song, it does sing a song



Love doesn't belong to anyone



It does sing a song, it does sing a song



Love doesn't belong to anyone



They don't see the coffin, only the nails



Their lights are too bright for your home movies



They'll set you adrift, disappointed, starving



But never as hungry as the sharks



Your desperate suit made out of puppet strings



Doesn't last very long



And desperate is the quiet that you're sinking below



Mouthin' the words to some old sixties' song



A quiet, quiet song, a quiet, quiet song



Love doesn't belong to anyone



A quiet, quiet song, a quiet song



Love doesn't belong to anyone



When you're finally silenced, led into alleys



Led into dark corners where no one can hear



Where what you say doesn't lead anywhere



But darker corners of your fear



There must be more to it than the pilgrim's hateful dream



Of love and peace



I know I've had that vision too



An old key and an old rusty chain of keys



A key that turns you your whole life long



Love doesn't belong to anyone



A key that turns you your whole life long



Love doesn't belong to anyone



Love, love, love, love just doesn't belong



Love, love, love, love just doesn't belong
