Lyrics:

Love forsaken, risk worth taking
Spearmint flavors, all my pallet shudders
I'm a member of shattered illusions
And am I, needless to say
Another song, this is nothing new

But love is big in every land
Every nation seeks its friends in France and Italy
And all across the seven seas
And god-dam guns and guts and history
And bitter love still put a hole in me

Bite my head off, still my world will always be
A little risk worth taking
Bite my hand off, still my world will always be
Another risk worth taking

Gotta step out on a limb, swallow my pride
Surrender, not give myself away
Little measures all the time
Become part of you, nothing new
Still half full for absolution
In my day there's no solution

And love is big in every land
Every nation seeks its friends in France and Italy
And all across the seven seas
And god-dam guns and guts and history
And bitter love still put a hole in me

Bite my head off, still my world will always be
A little risk worth taking
Bite my hand off, still my world will always be
Another risk worth taking
