Anthem Of Love Lyrics

Anthem of love

Hasten the anthem of love to my ransom

I'm kidnapped and can't take a bath

Heroes are rising in places surprisingly graceful the way that they laugh

A dollar a song still no place to belong to

My face filled with plaster and smoke

And if I weren't so sure that this was the cure I'd be sure it was some kind of joke

Point me toward daylight I'm tired of the dark night

My plight is with blindness and scenes

The rest of my story gets violent and gory I'm sorry that's just how it seems

Well I know now that anthems of love when you chant them

Just shoved me inside of your cloak

And if I didn't know that someday you would go I could show it was some kind of joke

Drawn by your beauty you silently wooed me till I fell asleep on your heart

Begging for mercy you ponder and nurse me until I can't stand on the cart

Well a long time ago before stages got slow I envisioned the future and spoke

Well it's looking to me like the things that I see just might be some kind of a joke

So I took off my hat said hello to your cat

I did all that you asked me to do

And still in the night I can tell you're uptight and the sight of me makes you feel blue

Ah but darling believe that someday when you leave I'll be halfway to heaven and broke

And it didn't take long to find I was wrong that this song was some kind of a joke

Patience and laughter are things that I'm after and you've taken both from my soul

Teardrops and trinkets you've left by the sink at the brink of the cereal bowl

And in times without passion we mimic the fashion and breathe right before we should choke

Well it isn't the same when you're playing a game that you claim might be some kind of joke

So hasten the anthem of love to my ransom

I'm kidnapped and can't take a bath

Well a dollar a song still no place to belong to

My face filled with plaster and smoke

And if I weren't so sure that this was the cure I'd be sure it was some kind of joke

Yes if I weren't so sure that this was the cure I'd be sure it was some kind of joke
