lyrics

You be a boxer, and me, I'm a dancer.
I will show you my moves,
Will you show me your speeding fist?
If I'm bleeding off a turnbuckle,
do you prance 'round your victory ring like this?
(la la la la)

It's the way of the world, we are bound by the war that divides.
I'd stay out of that war by your side.

You be a Lion, and me, I'm an antelope,
I scamper away cross the sunny Serengeti.
Will you give chase? Will you wear out my legs.
for another day, and another race?

It's the way of the world, we are bound by the war that divides.
I'd stay out of that war by your side.

Who's done the worst things they ever will do?
Darling, I have in a dream and I did them to you.
Though we fall out a window, we rupture our spleen,
the worst parts are hidden, they'll never be seen.

You be a doctor, and me I'm a witch-woman.
How many nipples could Lucifer have,
might you have miscounted?

It's the way of the world, we are bound by the war that divides.
I'd stay out of that war by your side.

Take these bloody paws and my leather gloves,
this maliciously blunt finger tip,
this crude hosanna crying out as I press this rotting wine to your lips.
There will be no warring world,
save in this violent slumber.
