Love Is A Burning Question Lyrics - Graham Parker

We work through the rituals and cover our poisonous tracks 

Making good use of weaknesses, horoscopes, rumours and facts 

Inspired by the needles and pins and the pains in the heart 

With no control over the chemistry that brings us then tears us apart 

Now we're as hard, as hard as nails 

Laugh at the butterfly that's just been impaled 

We're always running and don't know what we're running from 

We're always sweating bricks 

The only time the world makes sense to us is when we come 

Love is a burning, love is a burning question 

On the tip of your tongue, baby baby

Watch Beck's Heroic New Music Video For 'Up All Night' 

I'll endlessly make you and endlessly become remade 

I'll endlessly search for your heart with a carnal switchblade, 

As we thrash in the heat in an effort to beat up the world 

Then we loose our identities replace them with diamonds and pearls 

Don't be as hard as hard as nails 

You might be born to win and then your heart fails 

Get on my wavelength understand my driving force 

It's sin and sin alone 

I wouldn't lie to you unless I had to of course 

Love is a burning, love is a burning question 

Don't answer no 

Don't make me take a look just let me off the hook 

I've seen the future of rock and it sucks, yeah, it sucks 

Photos 

I've used you you're bleeding I know but don't be afraid 

It's only a wound only a wound from a carnal switchblade 

We're always running and don't know what we're running from 

We're always so convinced 

But the more we run the more it just slips through our fingertips 

Last chorus 

Love is a burning, love is a burning question 

On our lips baby baby
