Sunday morn has a-broken Like a whip on my back And we still have not spoken Since the day that I left You got to lose love if you want to find love You got to lose, you got to lose You got to lose, you got to lose Train pulled into some kinda burned out town I was aching like a half past dead There was a man with a monocle eating pineapple outside He offered me to trade his ride for head (what?) How far a walk to town where a bar could be found? I got just enough change for a drink There was a rubbie with a bible and some bad news on the brink He said, "It's not too far now I think" We came down from the trees, singing We came down from the trees You got to lose love if you want to find love (You got to lose, You got to lose) You got to lose love if you want to find love (You got to lose, You got to lose) When darkness fell it held the rain like water in my shaking hand With no one there to lead the walk
And so the night was getting dirty and I begged the lord for mercy And He said, "Oh, so now you wanna talk?" Found myself in a garden of Eden just as the sun began to rise And we sipped red wine with our lips upon the vine And our bodies got tangled in the night We came down from the trees, singing We came down from the trees You got to lose love if you want to find love (You got to lose, You got to lose) You got to lose love if you want to find love (You got to lose, You got to lose) We came down from the trees, swinging from telephone lines We came down from the trees, singing and telling lies Like you got to lose love if you want to find love You got to lose love if you want to find love You got to lose love if you want to find love You got to lose love if you want to find love You got to lose, you got to lose You got to lose, you got to lose You got to lose, you got to lose You got to lose, you got to lose
