I can't understand this city And I don't understand true love And I've been under false impressions Of even where I thought I was Heavy are the open-hearted And heavy is the fate of love Yeah here I go from town to town Just getting by on old true love Lovesick in some backwoods bayou Lovesick in town Gonna need to call the CDC 'Cause it's going around Arm in arm in armageddon Conjuring a tidal wave Standing on the cliffs and laughing And running down the fire escape Step ahead of rolling thunder An army of returning doves Heavy are the open-hearted And heavy is the fate of love Lovesick in some backwoods bayou Lovesick in town Gonna need to call the CDC 'Cause it's going around They say that love is blind But you look good to me And there's a reason that I'm coming over And it ain't up to me True love Is it any wonder, darling That I don't understand true love? Arm in arm in armageddon Conjuring our own true love Step ahead of rolling thunder An army of our own true love And heavy are the open-hearted And heavy is our own true love There I was, so free and lonely Innocent of all true love Is it any wonder, darling That I don't understand true love?
