'Cause it's amazing what lovers can do
Pay off the piper and pay all the bills
Blow out the candles and head for the hills
We'll go to our place in the rain
And sing all the sinners out loud
It's amazing what crazy can do
Close all the shutters and blinds
Burn what we can't understand
When the temperature rises
Run from the poison and run from the flames
And dream the policemen to hell
We'll go to our place in the rain
When heaven's a desert
Laugh at the whispers of who'll take the blame
Turn off the billboards that scream through the night
Take up the mattress and count all the cash
When the rivers run dry
Take down the pictures and take out the trash
Sit back and then take my hand
When heaven's a desert
Close down the churches and pray to the whores
As we're finally breakin' the chains
When every good citizen's sane
It's amazing what comes into view
Run up a flag for the old neighborhood
Lay down and then close your eyes
We can go to our place in the rain
And laugh with the last of the drugs
Take up the tattered old rugs
Burn all the papers and burn all the wood
Pray that we make it that far
Close all the windows and close all the doors
Run from the maddening crowd
When you just connect your heart back to your brain
It's amazing what comes into view
Pay for the getaway car
With just a kiss and a glass of champagne
