Love Minus Zero/No Limit

My love, she speaks like silence

Without ideals or violence

She doesn't have to say she's faithful

Yet she's true like ice, like fire

And the people carry roses

Make promises by the hours

My love, she laughs just like the flowers

That valentines can't buy

In the dime stores and bus stations

People talk of all kinds of situations

Read books, repeat quotations

Draw conclusions on the wall

And some speak of the future

My love, she only speaks softly

She knows there's no success like failure

And failure's no success at all

Alright

Yeah, the cloak and dagger dangles

Madams light the candles

In ceremonies of the horsemen

Even the pawn must hold a grudge

Statues made of matchsticks

They crumble into one another

My love winks, she does not bother

She knows too much to argue or to judge

My love, she speaks like silence

Without ideals or violence

She doesn't have to say she's faithful

Yet she's true like ice, like fire

And the people carry roses

Make promises by the hours

My love, she laughs like the flowers

That valentines can't buy her
