Tell the gardener not to remove the leaves And the pieces of what remained From the past and the last anniversary When things changed
Don't know what we forgot to negotiate Don't know what we've forgotten to swear In the fall when I called Just right after you
I'm still there I'm aware We're imitating anticipating In that nervous kind of love We're all looters And easy shooters In and evil manner
No more trust to adjust Underneath the crust No disgust over this and that No more act a bit queer No more crouch in fear Tit for tat
Tell the housekeeper not to remove the junk And the pieces of what remained From the fall when I called just right after you That we've changed That we've changed
Now we're run down Formerly spellbound In that nervous kind of love We're fish in the same dark water While times get harder On our long way out in the dark
We got stuck in a riddle Came into a fix now With that nervous kind of love We're all looters And easy shooters We're afraid of losing out
