My gravity is like sinking bricks
And my conscience is out turning tricks
In the city full of lunatics
And I can't do anything about it
In a Western I'm shot off my horse
Then I'm dragged out, just a trailing corpse
Through the desert to my lover's porch
And I won't do anything about it
It's underrated (it's true)
My heart was raided by you
And I'm elated
While your sympathies invade all over me
I'm invincible when your eyes meet mine
And a tenderness when you fall through mine
On a blanket weaved in city grime
And we can't do anything about it
I'm a samurai, you're a village girl
And it's raining, it's really pounding swirls
I wanna save you like a stolen pearl
And I need to do something about this
The tender life, the tender life
The tender life, the tender life (oh oh, oh oh, oh oh)
The tender life, the tender life (oh oh, oh oh, oh oh)
The tender life, the tender life
Is underrated (it's true)
My heart was raided by you
And I'm elated
And my sympathies invade all over you
