2: Dress it up with the trappings of love Rif 2: I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips Rif 3: Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above Rif 1: And I'll be your crying shoulder I'll be loves suicide Rif 1: I'll be better when I'm older I'll be the greatest fan of your life...Rif 1 Rif 1: Rain falls angry on the tin roof As we lie awake in my bed Rif 1: You're my survival, you're my living proof My love is alive not dead Rif 2: Tell me that we belong together Rif 2: Dress it up with the trappings of love Rif 2: I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips Rif 3: Instead
