You could bring me down
And you could cave me in
With your necklaces
And text messaging
You could cast your net
Over a thousand seas
And you could bring me joy
And you could make me weep
And you could make crosswords
Of all the men you keep
You could even have dances
With sad bastards like me
So rejoice...
My only love
Your birds will kneel
And hum apologies to my heart
And I will forgive you
So forgive me
I cry with all my heart
Dancing when all is over darling
Like a supernova
Rejoice again...
Rejoice and cry with me
We dance under children's feet
Rejoice with enemies
Rejoice before you start
With bullets that shoot your heart
Rejoice, rejoice and conquer me.
