An agony waitin' for someone to tell you to shut up
But don't stop even if there's no moon to hold you
Or any other lifeless rock
I can tell you, put all your hopes into the shoes you buy
Your loneliness has feet that walk and it's got wings that fly

And it does sing a song, it does sing a song
Love doesn't belong to anyone
It does sing a song, it does sing a song
Love doesn't belong to anyone

They don't see the coffin, only the nails
Their lights are too bright for your home movies
They'll set you adrift, disappointed, starving
But never as hungry as the sharks

Your desperate suit made out of puppet strings
Doesn't last very long
And desperate is the quiet that you're sinking below
Mouthin' the words to some old sixties' song

A quiet, quiet song, a quiet, quiet song
Love doesn't belong to anyone
A quiet, quiet song, a quiet song
Love doesn't belong to anyone

When you're finally silenced, led into alleys
Led into dark corners where no one can hear
Where what you say doesn't lead anywhere
But darker corners of your fear

There must be more to it than the pilgrim's hateful dream
Of love and peace
I know I've had that vision too
An old key and an old rusty chain of keys

A key that turns you your whole life long
Love doesn't belong to anyone
A key that turns you your whole life long
Love doesn't belong to anyone

Love, love, love, love just doesn't belong
Love, love, love, love just doesn't belong
