Happens to the hearts

And sometimes when the night is slow, The wretched and the meek, We gather up our hearts and go, A Thousand Kisses Deep.

In the prison of the gifted I was friendly with the guards So I never had to witness What happens to the heart.

Maybe there's a God above, And all I ever learned from love Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you. And it's not a cry you can hear at night, It's not somebody who's seen the light. It's a cold and it's a broken "Hallelujah".

I saw there were no oceans left For scavengers like me. I made it to the forward deck. I blessed our remnant fleet - And then consented to be wrecked, A Thousand Kisses Deep.

You win a while, and then it's done - Your little winning streak. And summoned now to deal With your invincible defeat, You live your life as if it's real, A Thousand Kisses Deep.

They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom For trying to change the system from within.

Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack, a crack in everything That′s how the light gets in
