Love on the Screen


This town was all you knew
But then they came for you,
And I can't believe that you're leaving
I wish that I was brave
I wish that I could stay their hands As they reach for their bibles
and their rifles

Cos exiles they are lonely They experience only
Love in the mail
Love on the stage
Love on the screen
As the walls go up higher They can only desire Love in the mail
Love on the stage
Love on the screen
Will we still feel we're able to feel? Will it just start to seem too unreal?

I was a coward when
They called you names but then
I guess I just thought they were joking
You didn't seem to care
Just got us out of there
And laughed like it wasn't worth caring You're so daring

Oh come on, we have seen the whole world better
Oh come on, don't forget about the dream world we've seen

But til then we'll be lonely We'll experience only
Love in the mail
Love on the stage
Love on the screen
As the walls go up higher We'll encode our desire Love in the mail
Love on the stage
Love on the screen
Will be still feel we're able to feel? Will it just start to seem too unreal?
