She gets so low she smokes so much
Twenty years and still gets that rush
All my friends say I'm no good for you
I keep the engine running on
We were born to come undone
All my friends say I'm no good for you

Her walls are crimson red
She ties him to the foot and head of her bed

But the boy don't stand a chance
There's a darkness in her hands
Thrown to the mercy of the thorns of love
The thorns of love

Lennon was shot in December time
Curtis was hung by washing line
1980's lovers died in twos
So kiss me in the ash and dirt
I only love you when it hurts
Ever wanted someone bad for you?

Her walls are crimson red
She ties him to the foot and head of her bed

But the boy don't stand a chance
There's a darkness in her hands
Thrown to the mercy of the thorns of love
But the boy don't stand a chance
There's a darkness in her hands
Thrown to the mercy of the thorns of love
The thorns of love

"I know what they say about us
How we're too young to live in such hot summer sin
The world want's to fall in love
So we're clipping cupids
We're clipping cupids wings. "

But the boy don't stand a chance
There's a darkness in her hands
Thrown to the mercy of the thorns of love
The thorns of love
