Song Lyrics

In the golden age
Of Love's architecture
Shakespeare was lying drunk in a ditch
Scribbling out his rapture
While getting his pocket picked

He said
Love is a subscription
Passion's what it's worth
Greed is a conviction
Love's a dirty word

It'll bring you down to earth
Love is a dirty word

From a bird's eye view, you can see it
It's sublime and its absurd
You can buy it and you can sell it
But nobodies figured out how to make it work

You can talk about it like a lawyer
Or you can call it a crutch
But in the end its all buried treasure underneath the mud
It'll bring you down to earth
Love is a dirty word

Down the snakes and up the ladders
This hot mama here's my crush
This young belle wants me a disaster
But I'm still waiting on the second punch

Yeah, it's a dirty, it's a dirty, it's a dirty word
Love is a dirty word
You get blind and you get burned
Get hung up and you get hurt
But it brings you down to earth

Jason Collett
