Somewhere between right and wrong is a love song

Its tongue hits the target,

Your love is a bitter seed that only the blind can see

Your hands are as giving as stone

Your mind as kind as Hitler's

Until night leaves you feeling alone

Your love is something that must do but never be

Just look at this trouble I'm in

Is every lie I've ever been told

Your love is something that must do but never be
