We danced in a dayglo dreamscape
In the starlight of our prime
Haunted by the devils of our own design
Go with the glitterati
Sell yourself and shine
As thoughts of doomsday lurk in the back of your mind
Sometimes I love you, I love this world and then
I'm nowhere new and love's grown pale again
Oh how you tease me, with hopes of a happy end
But I'm nowhere now and love's grown pale again
At the drive-ins and the doorways
The romance passed me by
As an earthbound ghost came at me with a cry
In the post-atomic shambles, I'll look back wistfully, mired in my reflections of what could have been
Sometimes I love you, I love you now and then
The gaslight goes and the love grows dark again
Oh how you pleased me, with tales when we played pretend
Then reality rose and love grew dark again
Sometimes I love you, I love this life and then
The stars burn out and love grows pale again
You were my gift horse, when I got down the track
I Lifted your lips and your teeth were broken and black
Out in the woodlands, the bluebells spring for lent
Explore a little more, broken bottles and tents
Sometimes I love you, I love this life and then
The stars burn out and love grows pale again
