I don't want to hold you and feel so helpless  I don't want to smell you and lose my senses  And smile in slow motion  With eyes in love    I twist like a corkscrew  The sweetness rising  I drink from the bottle, weeping  Why won't you last?  Why can't you last    So i will walk without care  Beat my snare  Look like a man who means business  Go to all the poshest places  With their familiar faces  Terminate all signs of weakness  Oh, all for the sake of a foolish love    I will take my coffee black  Never snack  Hang with the wolves who are sheepish  Flow through the veins of town  Always frown  Me and my mistress, the princess  Oh, all for the sake of a foolish love    So the day noah's ark floats down park  My eyes will be simply glazed over  Or better yet  I'll wear shades on sunless days  And when the sun's out, i'll stay in and slumber  Oh, all for the sake of a foolish love  All for the sake of a foolish love    Cause i don't want to hold you and feel so helpless  I don't want to smell you and lose my senses  And smile in slow motion  With eyes in love
