The Art of Love Songtext
von Peter Godwin

Two people twisted up
Caught up in a web of intrigue
Lost causes - young ideals
Strange meetings held cheek to cheek
Your heart is up and sinking
But your head′s in the sky
You see into the future
But your prophesy lies

That's the art of love - the art of love
The whores all kiss the boys
The angels watch them die from above


Telephone days - cafe nights
Wild-eyed and holding our breath
Won′t eat or sleep for years
I really love you to death
Words of invitation
Hearts wide open and bleeding
Secrets shared in secrecy
(She's just like you)
You know how she's needing

The art of love - the art of love
The tarts embrace the boys
And the gods watch their tears from above

The art of love - the art of love
The lady brings you down
But venus takes you back up

Enchantment and sorcery - still get the best of me
I′d take all ambition and throw it away
To keep this confusion for just one more day
We all die without the art of love
We all fade away without the heart of love
The boys embrace the boys and the girls swoon above
The girls embrace the girls and the boys fall in love


Telephone days - cafe nights
Two people twisted up
Won′t eat or sleep for years
I love your loving cup
Lost causes - young ideals
Strange meetings cheek to cheek
The lady brings you down
Her loving makes you weak
The whores all kiss the boys
Wild-eyed we hold our breath
And venus lifts you up
I love your love to death
I said - I love your love to death

The art of love - the art of love
The art of love - the art of love
