From the recording Sins and Promises
Lyrics
Love Has Got Me Floating
Down at the gallows
He’s still hanging around
Cause you can’t outrun the law
When your feet don’t touch the ground
His eyes were once for me
But now they feed the crows
And there’s no more melody
He can only decompose
She has the face of an angel
But she doesn’t own a halo (Oh no)
The fire in her eyes comes
from somewhere down below
Bitter lies leak from her mouth
And they melt
Into the snow
He sits at the head of the table
And he wants nothing less than
what's been paid for
(if you know what I mean)
His eyes they are bloodshot red
his blood it runs cold
He lives off the people’s tears
And his power makes him bold
Down at the gallows
He’s still hanging around
Cause you can’t outrun the law
When your feet don’t touch the ground
His eyes were once for me
But now they feed the crows
And there’s no more melody
He can only decompose
She is in charge of the show
But that doesn’t matter
She has to work flat on her back
To arrive at the top of the ladder.
The fire in her eyes
Comes from somewhere
Down below
Bitter lies spill from her mouth
To melt into the snow
His voice sweet as a nightingale
It’s strong as a gale in the night
He’s willing to do what it takes
Mesmerized by her seductive delights
Star glow married with the darkness
still echoes in his head
A King's ransom paid in pleasure
is bound to make him dead
Down at the gallows
He’s still hanging around
Cause you can’t outrun the law
When your feet don’t touch the ground
His eyes were once for me
But now they feed the crows
And there’s no more melody
He can only decompose
Flesh it can be tempted
flesh it can be sold
a pound of flesh it weighs
the same as a pound of gold
