lyrics

Some lovers are like quicksilver,
Touch them and they shake and shiver.
Get too rough and they scatter in haste,
It’s a big job cleaning up that toxic waste.

And some lovers are just like water,
See right through what they have on offer.
Given the choice I’ll take a cold beer,
Can’t stop my thirst with what’s clean and clear.

All these lovers keep falling apart,
Need to fix up their broken hearts.
Maybe they could use some clamps and glue,
Make some repairs like we know how to do.

(chorus)
You and me, wrapped up in twine,
Held together well for a mighty long time.
Me and you, got in a bind,
But that’s all right, nothing wrong with sleeping tight,
Tonight.

Some lovers are like a chunk of coal,
One spark and they’re out of control.
Fan the flames and they begin to choke,
It’s quality heat but too much goddamn smoke.

All these lovers keep burning down,
Watch the ashes fall all over town.
Feel like they should pay a fine or two,
Undo the damage like we used to do.

(repeat chorus)
