The Waterboys Follow

You just stepped into the main track
Climbed down off the fence
Words are your weapon
Lies are your defense

I know what you want
And I see what you see
You're looking for somebody
But he isn't me
Find yourself another
We will not be lovers

How your eyes are like tortures
And your presence is bliss
I never knew time
Could speed and zip like this

The touch of your flesh
Is tough to resist
Planets collide, collide, collide
At the smack of your kiss
But you can kiss your brother
Because we will not be lovers

Now you're pulling down curtains
Sparking old flames

Crying for shame

Knocking on doors
Abusing my name
Casting up doubt
Throwing your blame
But you can throw it at your mother, your mother
Because we will not be lovers

Now the world's full of trouble
Everybody's scared
The landlords are frowning
Cupboards are bare

People are scrambling
Like dogs for a share
It's cruel and it's hard
But it nothing compared to
What we do to each other, to each other
We will not be lovers

We will not be lovers
We will not be lovers
