Song Lyrics

We crossed our hearts and never hoped to lie
For the ghosts along The Castro were just walking by
We went back to scratch and had to start again
Like a ring of roses everyone was falling down

We made a miracle
We had to come up with a cunning plan
A time for quiet contemplation
Dying on the steps of City Hall

They turned on love and turned their backs
And left us to a sheer attack
And I'm not really pleased with that
And still it's not over
The universe is big enough
And there's room for the two of us
And ignorance it isn't bliss
And words they can't hurt me

They held us all in very low esteem
We had to fight for our right, had to steal the scene
It felt so right to see the rebels run
Because we know that something good was being done

But you never gave a damn
We had to come up with a cunning plan
We were fighting for survival
We had to look the Devil in the eye

They turned on love and turned their backs
And left us to a sheer attack
And I'm not really pleased with that
And still it's not over
The universe is big enough
And there's room for the two of us
And ignorance it isn't bliss
And words they can't hurt me

They turned on love and turned their backs
And left us to a sheer attack
And I'm not really pleased with that
And still it's not over

(And still it's not over)

We made a miracle
Dying on the steps of City Hall

They turned on love and turned their backs
And left us to a sheer attack
And I'm not really pleased with that
And still it's not over
The universe is big enough
And there's room for the two of us
And ignorance it isn't bliss
And words they can't hurt me

They turned on love and turned their backs
And left us to a sheer attack
And I'm not really pleased with that
And still it's not over
The universe is big enough
And there's room for the two of us
And ignorance it isn't bliss
And words they can't hurt me
