lyrics

And we’ve drawn a line, chosen teams and stood on opposite sides
No love lost, just lost love
And it cracks and it hums, clutching straws, opposable thumbs…
No love lost, just lost love

Swing low, the hanging fruit without the time to grow
Fool’s pride, on the wrong side of the Mason Dixon Line
No love lost, just lost love. No love lost, just lost love.
No love lost, just lost love.

And the bang, and the drum, how you been
and where exactly are you from
No love lost, just lost love
And the thought that a prayer could blow acrid nitro out to other air
No love lost, just lost love

Anodyne, the poison fruit’s left dying on the vine
Anode, Stanley clings to the Napoleonic code
No love lost, just lost love. No love lost, just lost love.
No love lost, just lost love.

The myth of brotherhood is encoded when the weather’s good
in a slight of hand
But I found out too soon as it trips you once in a blue moon,
there’s no lions, there’s no lambs

How deeply do you breathe, when you’re fast asleep,
I pray your soul to keep
