Dead For Love - The Libertines

Your only rule: Stay alive

Just keep breathing, you’ll be fine

And now she’s pulling up out side

The car lights crawling across the curtain

So put the gun back on the wall

Take the suitcase from the wardrobe

And there’s a dead man on the floor

He’s not going anywhere

And you’re moving to the door

And everything he ever did

He only ever did for love

Everything he ever said

Was only ever said for love

And now, now he lies dead

He’s dead for love

His mind’s at ease

He sleeps in peace

Your reflection in her eyes

You just don’t recognise

And soon you’ll realize

This guy’s not going anywhere

And now he’s done this, he wants more

Race with the shadows to the door

A guy like this needs to be shun

No one was there when the devil rode out before

And everything he ever did

He only ever did for love

Everything he ever said

He only ever said for love

And now, now he lies dead

He’s dead for love

His mind’s at ease

He sleeps in peace

And in the shadows your will walk tall

And there you’ll stay until you fall

And when the final hour arrives

It’s only lovers left alive

Wretched souls and gangsters' molls

Beyond the valley of the dolls

Your story they will never tell

Because their lips are sealed

And everything you ever did

You only ever did for love

And everything you ever said

You only ever said for love

And now, now he lies dead

He’s dead for love

Your mind’s at ease

You sleep in peace

And everything you ever did

You only ever did for love

And everything you ever said

You only ever said for love

And now, now he lies dead

He’s dead for love

Your mind’s at ease

You sleep in peace

After a sleepless night the body weakens

It grows dear, not ones own, it’s nobody’s

Sluggish, the veins still retain the ache of arrows

One smiles to all with a seraph’s ease

Lips glow softly, the shadow’s were golden

Under sunken eyes

Night has set ablaze

The most radiant countenance

And dark nights renders

But one part of us dark — the eyes
