Lyrics:

I see you in the market,
behind the carriage and the magazine
I see you on the highway,
behind the tinted glass and telephone
Alarm on your car and
on your apartment door -
(the alarm is on love)
Since the slap, the burn,
the third double bourbon

Any caress is an attack
upon your mother's love or lack.
The point was to hold on to first person first,
(first person singular)
I know that there's no greater love than this -
Mother and child
from the Madonna to the one who held you,
fragile and wild

But I hold love, and I will love open,

And I wish you well I wish you might
you will not be alone tonight
I wish you well I wish you might
you will not be alone tonight
I wish you well I wish you might
you will not be alone tonight
I wish you well I wish you might

Emotion sensitive,
find the combination. Punch it in
Is it the day that you were born,
or your girlfriend's Christian name?
Anything could break
the contacts at the windows
(the alarm is on love)
Set it off, screaming, against love

But I hold love, and I will love open,

And I wish you well I wish you might
you will not be alone tonight
I wish you well I wish you might
you will not be alone tonight
I wish you well I wish you might
you will not be alone tonight
I wish you well I wish you might
you will not be alone tonight
I wish you well I wish you might

The alarm is on love
The alarm is on love
The alarm is on love
The alarm is on love

I wish you well I wish you might
wish you well, wish you might
