This Side of Love lyrics

We're on the negative side of love

I'm subject to all bizarre whims she fancies

I'm running escape to find the handle

Of the door she locks me up in

She's on the laughing side of sin

What have I done in all my past lives

(To end up on) This side of Love?

We're on a permanent twist of fate

She has dominion over time and torture

I'm pinching myself to convince me that

I'm in a living nightmare

The killer attraction of a dare

What have I done, emasculation

(To end up on) This side of Love?

If I should stay

(Will the beat go on?)

I must be strong

(We tell you every day)

Will I return

(To normal lovers again?)

Please peel my skin

('Cause my soul is burning)

We're on a roundabout whirl of scorn

The demons are smiling and the angels snoring

I feel like a stepchild Caeser that's been

Beaten and bruised to please her

Wearing a rusted ring of thorns

What have I done to piss the Gods off

(To end up on) This side of Love?

If I should stay

(Will the beat go on?)

I must be strong

(We tell you every day)

Will I return

(To normal lovers again?)

Please peel my skin

('Cause my soul is burning)

We're on the negative side of love

I see my condition as a sign of service

I'll snuggle up close to her knowing

That I'm practising my religion

Warming the barrel of a gun

This will be the deed that finds me next time

(On this side of)

(On this side of)

(On this side of) This side of Love
