They Are in Love

She put the scar on the side of his face When he disappeared for three days And they say that they are in love He took her cocaine when she was asleep And friends say he gave half away And they say that they are in love Run away, run away Run away before it's too late There is danger but they will not see If they're blind, then it's blind that they'd rather be. This town's destroyed more than one friend of mine Funny that they never leave They say that they are in love Some say it's rotten, some say it's wrong Some say it's hard to believe And some say that they are in love Move away, move away Move away before it's too late And the lion sleeps with the lamb Only love lets me forget who I really am This land is small and it's cold and it's damp But there's no place that I'd rather be I know that I am in love Ethnic divisions, screaming demands A little bit like you and me I guess that we are in love Stay away, stay away Stay away you might end up like me It's the pain that keeps us alive But that beauty is all that we need to survive That damn beauty is all that we need to survive --- They Are in Love - David Byrne
