How can you ever understand love with all that face make-up?

lyrics

So, Gladys, I fell into your madness
The moment that you thought, you were everything I sought

So, witness, I’m entering the quickness
I think they call it love, or something from above

But no, I’ve never known this feeling
I think it’s got me reeling, so what have I become?

Oh hope, I hope, I hope, I pray
There’s an outpost in my brain, of something that is sane

Place your bets and play your hand
When it comes to love, I never understand

Face make-up, on a football fan
That was the life of Stan; I want to be your man

But look out; I’ve got another book out
This one’s about Miami, and the way you had me

You had me in your grasp, a grasp that was so fast
All tied up into knots, and a crazy train of thought

I should have taken photos, as proof of your disorder
But when I think about it, they should have been self-portraits

Place your bets and play your hand
When it comes to love, I never understand


You said, you said, you said you loved me
But you loved me way too much; I said that’s fabulous

You thought, you thought that it was kind
Kind of you to lie, I thought it was a crime

But now, now that I’m in doubt
I think I see your face, a face I know as hate

Oh no, oh no, oh no my dear
I want to make this clear; you never made me fear

Place your bets and play your hand
When it comes to love, I never understand


Place your bets and play your hand
When it comes to love, I never understand
I never understand
I never understand
I never understand

The Halcyon Brothers image

The Halcyon Brothers Minneapolis, Minnesota

Halcyon is a poetic name for a Kingfisher. It is said that the floating nest of the Halcyon brings calm to the cruel sea. The Halcyon Brothers decorate the weight of the world in a charming and medicated disguise. The sound embraces with a clinched smile, and then stumbles and occasionally falls only to somehow prop itself back up for another round. ... more
