Some kids only sweet sixteen
They think they're really tough
You could give them everything
It wouldn't be enough
Mothers crying all alone
What did I do wrong?
Raising up a family
You've got to be so strong

After the love is gone how can we carry on?
After the love is gone how can we carry on?

Father is a broken man
He drinks just to forget
Searching for the higher ground
But he ain't found it yet
Every day just like the last
Poverty and lust
So hateful of the richer man
Because he ain't like us

After the love is gone how can we carry on?
After the love is gone what used to be right is wrong
Like walking into a storm

Strangled by religion
Those that still believe
When you don't have nothing
The Lord he will relieve
Television lifestyles
People come on down
Welcome to the future
Your feet won't touch the ground

After the love is gone how can we carry on?
After the love is gone what used to be right is wrong
Like walking into a storm

This is a real addiction, confusion and cheap tattoos
A princess, a car thief, and a lost shoe
Lonliness, laughter, lust, the promise of pain
Judas in blue jeans tell me your name

Eyes across the room, unspoken
Eyes, glitter promise
Cheapness and beauty
Trickery and lies
Cheapness and beauty
Oh I'm so weak sometimes

Glue for the broken toy, wings for the saint
A buddah, a false God, and some war paint
Wasting your wisdom, yes, but who can you trust
Love holds a mirror up to all of us

Eyes across the room, unspoken
Eyes, glitter promise
Cheapness and beauty
Trickery and lies
Cheapness and beauty
Oh I'm so weak sometimes

It's much too late to say goodbye
Despite all good advice
This pain is such a part of me
I won't apologize
For running to your rescue
Though you slap me in the face
It doesn't really matter
'Cause we always fall in love again

Cheapness and beauty
Trickery and lies
Cheapness and beauty
Oh I'm so weak sometimes

Desolate loving in your eyes
You used and made my life so sweet
Step out like a Godfound child
I saw your eyes across the street

Who would be the fool to take you be more than just kind
Step into a life of maybe love is hard to find

In the church of the poison mind
In the church of the poison mind
In the church of the poison mind

Watch me clinging to the beat
I had to fight to make it mine
That religion you could sink it neat
Just move your feet and you'll feel fine

Who would be the fool to maybe trick a kiss in time
Who am I to say that's crazy, love will make you blind

In the church of the poison mind
In the church of the poison mind
In the church of the poison mind

When I wake up feeling victimized
There is nothing that can stop my eyes from crying
When you put the pressure down on me
'Cause I don't quite fit your imagery, I'm trying

Baby I'm no Superman

Eyes of the deep blue sea
To dive in
Love that you give to me
We're surviving
When love is gone
I can't carry on

When you know that love is on my mind
It's a perfect chance to be unkind, you do it
Being sly you take a chance on crime
But the master has a new design on loving, living

Out and in the enemy

Eyes of the deep blue sea
To dive in
Love that you give to me
We're surviving
When love is gone
I can't carry on

Eyes that open wide
Do you do
Love you give the child
Do you do
Why do you do that to me

When I wake up feeling victimized
There is nothing that can stop my eyes from crying
When you put the pressure down on me
'Cause I don't quite fit your imagery, I'm trying

Baby I'm no Superman

Eyes of the deep blue sea
To dive in
Love that you give to me
I'm surviving
When love is gone
You can't carry on
