Lyrics They Are in Love - David Byrne

They Are in Love

She put the scar on the side of his face
When he disappeared for three days
And they say that they are in love
He took her cocaine when she was asleep
Friends say he gave half away
And they say that they are in love
Run away, run away
Run away, before its too late
There is danger but they will not see
If theyre blind then its blind that theyd rather be This towns destroyed more than one friend of mine
Funny, they never leave
They say that they are in love
Some say its rotten, some say its wrong
Some say its hard to believe
And some say that they are in love
Move away, move away
Move away before its too late
Then the lion sleeps with the lamb
Only love lets me forget who I really am This land is small, its cold and its damp
Theres no place that Id rather be I know that I am in love
Ethnic divisions, screaming demands
A little bit like you and me I guess that we are in love
Stay away, stay away
Stay away, you might end up like me Its the pain that keeps us alive
But that beauty is all that we need to survive
That damn beauty is all that we need to survive
