Lyrics of

Love in the 4th

	
Round and round
The words are spinning
Why don't we take it
From the beginning
I know it hurts but
Babe don't you worry
Let's take our time honey
What's the hurry?
Your eyes are moving
Yes I can see them
The words are soothing
Why don't I believe them?
Your eyes are beaming
But I can't receive them

[Solo]

You say our love just
Needs some attention
Maybe it's stuck in
The fourth dimension
You say it wants more
Kissage and huggage
Maybe it just got
Lost with our luggage
Maybe our love just
Needs space to grown in
A place to go to
Vector to grow in
Maybe what I need's
A towel to throw in

Don't you remember that rainy night?
Riding the dog in pale moonlight
Making love up in the very last row
Lord have mercy
Half way to Jersey
Spare me the details of guts and glory
The truth is just another story
Why don't you give me
Why don't you give me
Lies I can believe?


I never said I was a diplomat
I guess I got no country to be true to
So don't you tell me not to be like that
Don't you blame me when I do like you do
Life is a gamble
You're never ready
The sands are shifting but
The winds are steady
They never let up
So keep your head up
Don't let 'em blow you away

[Solo]

To every man goes
His share of passion
But I'm way under
The legal ration
I think you nailed it
Right down to the letter
It's getting older
But it ain't getting better
Maybe our love just
Needs a vacation
The train is rolling
Out of the station
Across the platform
Another train is pulling in

Lovers sighing in exotic places
Holding hands with all the aces
Making love up on the captain's table
All the way, all the way home
I see my past stretched out before me
The truth is just another story
Why don't you give me
Why don't you give me
Lies I can believe?
