Twist Of Barbwire Lyrics

I said, I love you 'til you don't know you're born

I said, I love you 'til the far side of dawn

But in the morning, if you must leave

Don't leave with your apologies

And if you come back, if I liked you at all

Remember I liked you to fall on your knees

Liar, liar, you're my last desire

Thought your kind of love was just a thorn on a rose

Tried hard to be faithful, not hard enough I suppose

I tried hard to drown with a hum and a drum

In a pretty drug slum mire, tried bearing your sighs

And your sneers and your frown

Tried wearing your jewels, your heels and your crown

But it was nothing but a twist of barbwire

It was nothing but a twist of barbwire

It was nothing but a twist of barbwire

You say I promised I'd be constantly clean

Did you think that I say what I mean

And now, you're keening, and you have to decide

Will you open your legs or your eyes

And do you pray now, 'cause I pray all the time

As the soul can't escape what the heart may disguise

Liar, liar, you're my last desire

Thought your kind of love was just a thorn on a rose

Tried hard to be faithful, not hard enough I suppose

I tried hard to drown with a hum and a drum

In a pretty drug slum mire, tried bearing your sighs

And your sneers and your frown

Tried wearing your jewels, your heels and your crown

But it was nothing but a twist of barbwire

It was nothing but a twist of barbwire

It was nothing but a twist of barbwire
