Lyrics
Pressed closer together
Than the pages of a book
We lay lovers undercover
Away from judging looks
We were as gay as Genet on Uranus
I played a refrain to sustain us
To sustain us
To sustain us
To sustain us
The world unravelled below your window
We saw the wars given birth
Then I had a vision of divisions
Portending the end of the Earth
As loons mined the moon to wound us
I crooned a tune to cocoon us
To cocoon us
To cocoon us
To cocoon
To cocoon us
Ooh us
I saw our books start to combust
The room turn to dust
Our bed to rust
Left naked in the paper white I started to write
The story of
The story of us
No more songs played after that day
Our tale too is sad to see
One of rebel lovers discovered
The only way it could be
But when they came
To defame and maim us
We remained in the flames
And were shameless
We were shameless
We were shameless
In the flames we remained
Shameless
