We got the love But they put out the fire 'Cos they expect us to walk on the wire We got the love But they put out the fire 'Cos they expect us to walk on the wire A kid lifts up a spray can And never thought it would be famous What he did Turned the mess into a dreamland With a quirky act of romance A version of Romeo and Juliet This time with Adidas sneakers and cigarettes A couple of kids trying to cut down the safety net They twisted the story, so they could bring glory to it I love ya, will you marry me? Oh what a shame, we gotta pay for reality Ain't it sad, sad, sad We got the love But they put out the fire 'Cos they expect us to walk on the wire We got the love But they put out the fire 'Cos they expect us to walk on the wire They didn't write her name on the article That to me just seems pretty farcical Now coppers take coppers out of his hands from a ban from alcohol Fundamental narcissistic Tried to make out he didn't exist When they wrote on the what When they wrote on the t-shirts, cool merch and postcards And lighting it up like a piece of art They kicked him to the side and left him to starve The memory that's rebreaking his broken heart I love ya, will you marry me? Oh what a shame, we gotta pay for reality Ain't it sad, sad, sad I love ya, will you marry me? Oh what a shame, we gotta pay for reality Ain't it sad, sad, sad Everyday, everyday, every single day Everyday, everyday, every single day I love ya, will you marry me? Oh what a shame, we gotta pay for reality Ain't it sad, sad, sad I love ya, will you marry me? Oh what a shame, we gotta pay for reality Ain't it sad, sad, sad We got the love But they put out the fire 'Cos they expect us to walk on the wire We got the love But they put out the fire 'Cos they expect us to walk on the wire
