Oh, love, you were a sickly child How the wind knocked you down ♪ Put on your spurs, swagger around In the desperate kingdom of love Holy water cannot help you now ♪ Your mysterious eyes cannot help you Selling your reason will not bring you through The desperate kingdom of love There's another who looks From behind your eyes I learned from you How to hide From the desperate kingdom of love And at the end of this burning world You'll stand proud, face upheld ♪ And I'll follow you into heaven or hell And I'll become as a girl In a desperate kingdom of love
