Wasteland
All the fear and fire of the end of the world
Happens each time a boy falls in love with a girl
Happens great, happens sweet
Happily, I’m unfazed here, too
Wasteland, baby
I’m in love, I’m in love with you
All the things yet to come are the things that have passed
Like the holding of hands, like the breaking of glass
Like the bonfire that burns
That all words in the fight fell to
Wasteland, baby
I’m in love, I’m in love with you
And I love too, that love soon might end
Be known in its aching
Shown in the shaking
Lately of my wasteland, baby
Be still, my indelible friend, you are unbreaking
Though quaking, though crazy
That’s just wasteland, baby
And that day that we’ll watch the death of the sun
To the cloud and the cold and those jeans you have on
And you’ll gaze unafraid as they sob from the city roofs
Wasteland, baby
I’m in love, I’m in love with you
And I love too, that love soon might end
Be known in its aching
Shown in the shaking
Lately of my wasteland, baby
Be still, my indelible friend, you are unbreaking
Though quaking, though crazy
That’s wasteland, baby
When the stench of the sea and the absence of green
Are the death of all things that are seen and unseen
Are an end but the start of all things that are left to do
Wasteland, baby
I’m in love, I’m in love with you
(That’s it)
