She had high voltage in her lips Shot me in my chest lost my breath Going into cardiac arrest My thoughts are a hurricane At the maelstrom lies my heart Although I know no one is listening I nervously rehearse for when you're around On the way down screaming If I could just get more time we'll be alright There's tonight, and I know it's not much But it's better than nothing We're running on fumes and we'll make it through the night It's not a perfect love, but it's better than dreaming As Shakespeare said "Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs."

She had high voltage in her lips Shot me in my chest lost my breath Going into cardiac arrest My thoughts are a hurricane At the maelstrom lies my heart Although I know no one is listening I nervously rehearse for when you're around On the way down screaming If I could just get more time we'll be alright There's tonight, and I know it's not much But it's better than nothing We're running on fumes and we'll make it through the night It's not a perfect love, but it's better than dreaming As Shakespeare said "Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs."
Sometimes love is stronger than a man's convictions.
