Down With Love (Live)

[Intro]

All right

And now for my next trick

[Verse 1]

Down with love

With flowers and rice and shoes

Down with love

The root of all midnight blues

Down with things

That give you that well-known, ah, pain

Take that moon

Wrap it in cellophane

[Verse 2]

Down with love

Let's liquidate all its friends

Like moon and June and roses

And rainbows' ends

Down with songs

That moan about night and day

Down with love

Take it away, away (Now comes [?])

[Bridge]

Take it away

Take it away

Give it back to the birds and the bees

And the Viennese (Let's see what's doing over here)

[Verse 3]

Down with eyes romantic and stupid

Down with sighs, down with Cupid

Brother, let's stuff that dove

Down with love

[Verse 2]

Down with love

Let's liquidate all its friends

Like moon, June, roses

And rainbows' ends

Down with songs

That moan about night and day

[Interlude]

You are the one

But I don't stand a chance with a ghost like you

Ah, the promised kiss of spring is here

Why does my heart go dancing overhead

On the ceiling near my bed?

We go now

Because I talk to the trees

But they don't listen to me

I tell them

You say eether, I say eyether

You say neether, I say nyther

Eether, eyether, neether, nyther

Let's call the whole thing off!

[Bridge]

Take it away

Take it away

Give it back to the birds and the bees

And the Viennese

[Verse 4]

Oh, down with eyes romantic and stupid

Down with sighs, down with Cupid

Brother, let's stuff that dove

Down, down, down I go

Around and around I go

In a spin

Ooh, hating the spin I'm in

What is this thing

What is this thing called love?

I don't know
