A room sometimes is a body
With the loneliest view
And the porch lights grow dim

With every on-setting hour
Where the stars seem so finite to you


But love it ain't like the chemicals babe
Cause the chemicals don't hang around
While everybody's drilling for a fountain of youth

Losing years on the way down

A melody can be exhausted babe

Short of friend and fame
Cause the birds they don't sing
In the winter short of spring

And, even then, they only sing in the day

But love, it ain't like a melody babe

Cause the birds don't hang around
Well, everybody's drilling for a fountain of youth
But sometimes in these fountains they drown

Sometimes in these fountains they drown

But I want to love you

When the blood of my veins
Don't know how to call out your name
Yeah I want to love you

When the birds don't hang around

But love it ain't like the chemicals babe

Cause the chemicals don't hang around
While everybody's drilling for a fountain of youth
But sometimes in these fountains they drown
