Ivory Road

You're the nose on my bullet

The trigger on my gun

You're the sandbank in the ocean

Oxygen in my blood

You're the fastest of the fish

You're the prickliest pear

You're a chameleon in the night

You're the sahara's sun glare

You're my mind's rest

You're the strings on my guitar

You're the wax in my moustache

The keys to my car

You're the magical mermaid's hollowed illusion

You cool them, fool them

And they hope so much

And you let them down

And you watch from your rock

And your heart beats fast as you watch their's stop

I will keep on loving

'Cos I believe in love

I don't mind dying

If you follow me up

Your victory's your defeat

Your head above your heart

Only the brave surrender

Death cannot tear us apart

Well my smile is wider

Than your's when we meet

And the winter is colder

For me underneath

And I know that you glow

From the inside out

You can keep it for yourself

And I'll go without

You are the fire and I'm the chimney

You'll burn away and I'll choke on your memory

All the words, my sense, you're the poet to my pen

You're the dream that brings the morning sadness

Start the day storm in my head

Well you're the Oscar Wilde short stories in my bookcase

You're positively 4th street isolated in my itunes

You're the word in the dictionary that I can't spell

Can't describe, can't put in a sentence but use all the time

Your own pair of trousers look better on me

The boots of spanish leather

And the bottom of the sea

Every symbol of love that doesn't relate to a meaning

Every feeling, every sensation

Only real when I'm dreaming

I will keep on loving

'Cos I believe in love

I don't mind dying

If you follow me up

Your victory's your defeat

Your head above your heart

Only the brave surrender

Death cannot tear us apart

Well I wish we were animals free of loves games

I wish we were snails with really big shells

I wish I was a lion, I'd be king of the wild

I'd command all the beasts to carry you when you're tired

I'm the elephant in the circus

Oh, you're my trainer

You'd never let me go

But if you did I would stay here

In love there is freedom

But it must be returned

There must be sacrifice

Love must be learnt

A donkey, a mule, a lifetime of work

In death he rests his head from his reins

No burden to bare but work left him lame

And the lion on the mountain chased from his pride

His lioness stolen, his rival survives

The sound of his cubs in death are dim

He knows his world well, no pain can defeat him

Wild horses in the wilderness

Will know no journey home

Well my love is locked in chains

The lion walks alone

Oh the lion walks alone

Nature is cruel

But he knows it's his home

He to his demons

And you to your own

Please let me stand by you

And we'll conquer them all

We will conquer them all

Oh I will conquer them all (x3)
