I live and die by the hot and cold in strangers' eyes
But danger lies behind the tape across my door
I know a place where angels lace the lemonade
And I cannot stay where all the broken plans were madeBroken devotion
Can I jump in the gun
And fly over the ocean
Can I jump in the gunAnd 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 earthShe and I were death-defying promenade
She and I were profligate as de rigeur
She and I were for a button, tailor-made
She and I won't find another me and herBroken devotion
Can I jump in the gun
And fly over the ocean
Can I jump in the gunAnd 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 earthOh, 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 uponBroken devotion
Can I jump in the gun
And fly over the ocean
Can I jump in the gunAnd 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
