Pressed closer together Than the pages of a book We lay lovers undercover Away from judging looks We were as gay as Genet on Uranus I played a refrain to sustain us To sustain us To sustain us To sustain us The world unravelled below your window We saw the wars given birth Then I had a vision of divisions Portending the end of the Earth As loons mined the moon to wound us I crooned a tune to cocoon us To cocoon us To cocoon us To cocoon To cocoon us Ooh us I saw our books start to combust The room turn to dust Our bed to rust Left naked in the paper white I started to write The story of The story of us No more songs played after that day Our tale too is sad to see One of rebel lovers discovered The only way it could be But when they came To defame and maim us We remained in the flames And were shameless We were shameless We were shameless In the flames we remained Shameless
