American Music Club – Love Doesn’t Belong

An agony waiting for someone to tell you to shut up

But don’t stop even if there’s no moon to hold you

Or any other lifeless rock

I can tell you put all your hopes into the shoes you buy

Your loneliness has feet that walk it’s got wings that fly

And it does sing a song

Love doesn’t belong to anyone

They don’t see the coffin only the nails their lights

Too bright for your home movies

They’ll set you adrift disappointed and starving

But never as hungry as the sharks

Your desperate suit made out of puppet strings

doesn’t last very long

Desperate in the quiet

you’re sinking below mouthing the words to some

Old sixties song, a quiet song

Love doesn’t belong to anyone

When you’re finally silenced and led into alleys

And led into dark corners where no one can hear

Where what you say doesn’t lead anywhere

but darker corners of your fear

There must be more to it

than the pilgrim’s hateful dream of love and peace

I know I’ve had that vision too

An old key on a rusty chain of keys

A key that turns you your whole life long

Love doesn’t belong to anyone
