About the Artist
Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] I stood there beside myself Thinking hard about the weather Then came by a friend of mine Suggested we go out together Then I knew it from the start This friend of mine would fall apart Pretending not to see his gun I said, "Let's go out and have some fun" [Chorus] I know, you know, we believe in a land of love I know, you know, we believe in a land of love [Verse 2] When you are alone at night You search yourself for all thе things That you believe arе right If you give it all away You throw away your only chance to be here today Then a fight breaks out on your street You lose another broken heart in a land of meat My friend, he took his final breath Now I know the perfect kiss is the kiss of death [Instrumental Outro]
