lyrics

And God created man
And God created woman
And soon enought they found
they had nothing at all in common
One cared about the penis
One cared about the heart
And soon they find
presence of mind
will tear them both apart
She needs cash to build on
a heart already started
But he knows he can't belong
to a life already martyred
to love and to the children
a stitch upon a suture
that can't repair
the obvious tear
ripped into their future.
He treads upon a spider
She's frightened by a fly
Nothing can bring them closer
than Earth may be to sky
She drives him slowly crazy
takes the shortest route
from one state to another
from ignorance to brute
They started out so happy
He thought he'd found his match
Setting fire
to his desire
but then he found a catch
She longed for many children
He lusted after her
But impediment
to a settlement
was likely to occur
And soon enough he drifted
like icebergs in a floe
back to where he started
to what he used to know
He knew that she'd be crying
her heart upon her sleeve
How could he give up trying?
How could he make her grieve?
Inside this human bubble
they saw only one another
There was no escape for them
no shelter and no cover
But in the wider world at large
it doesn't really matter
when hearts that once were brought so close
fly suddenly ascatter
And even now they carry on
in spite of all the danger
with a person they once knew
now wedded to a stranger
There is no dream
no hope or faith
or God in his regalior
No, nothing but the world exists
for hearts that now know failure.
