Maybe that it would do me good 
If I believed there were a god 
Cut in the starry firmament 
But as it is that's just a lie 
And I'm here eating up the boredom 
On an island of cement 
Give me your ecstasy I'll feel it 
Open window and I'll steal it 
Baby like it's heaven sent 

This ain't no love that's guiding me 

Some days i'm bursting at the seams 
With all my half remembered dreams 
And then it shoots me down again 
I feel the dampness as it creeps 
I hear you coughing in your sleep 
Beneath a broken window pane 
Tomorrow girl i'll buy you chips 
A lollipop to stain your lips 
And it'll all be right as rain 

This ain't no love that's guiding me 
This ain't no love that's guiding me 

No it ain't no love guiding me 
No it ain't no love guiding me 
No it ain't no love guiding me 

This ain't no love that's guiding me 
This ain't no love that's guiding me 

On winter trees the fruit of rain 
Is hanging trembling in the branches 
Like a thousand diamond buds 
And waiting there in every pause 
That old familiar fear that claws you 
Tells you nothing ain't no good 
Then pulling back you see it all 
Down here so laughable and small 
Hardly a quiver in the dirt 

This ain't no love that's guiding me
