lyrics

I was a lover
I was a lover
I was a lover 'fore i was a child
I was a lover
I was a lover
I was a lover and i was wild

When a tree gives birth
A seed falls to the earth
& then it has to die
But there are some days
I think i've got a better way
To live a fruitful life
First you run
Then you hide
Then you don't come out
You don't come out
In the city lights
In the city

I was a lover
I was a lover
I was a lover 'fore i was a child
I was a lover
I was a lover
I was a lover and i was wild

Oh, in my ostentatious
Acclamations
Will you want me still?
& now my lip is cut
From fighting God knows what
& all my ribs are bruised
It seems you lose
If you try to hide
And you fall
And crawl
'til you wish that you could die

I was a lover
I was a lover
I was a lover 'fore i was a child
I was a lover
I was a lover
I was a lover and i was wild
Oh wild
And faster than these legs can carry me
So slow down
