I led five hundred through the field
Down out the hills
To where the dam was built
And set 'em all to dancing
And set 'em all to drinking
Then while they slept out in the moonlight
I lit the charges
Watched the valley fill
And all the world was drowning
Was beautiful and floating
So, go take your love
I don't need it
Soon my hate so sweet will make
Chainmaille of live bees
Yeah, yeah
I was born only to love you
I was born only to love you
Don't crowd the valley with your saints
I'll make a shroud and choir
Of rats and snakes
We'll sing a hallelujah
But, really, what's it to ya?
Go take your love
I don't need it
Soon my hate so sweet will make
Chainmaille of live bees
Yeah, yeah
I was born only to love you
I was born only to love you
I was born only to love you
