It's great to get love and desire,
As long as you don't give them back,
For things that are shared soon expire.
Don't let them believe you're a liar,
Nor that they have all that you lack;
It's great to get love and desire.
So warm your cold hands at their fire,
But don't get too close: they'll turn black;
For things that are shared soon expire.
You're balancing on a thin wire,
Just don't let your spine become slack.
It's great to get love and desire;
But things that are shared soon expire.
