[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
I live and die by the hot and cold in strangers’ eyes
But danger lies behind the tape across my door
I know a place where angels lace the lemonade
And I cannot stay where all the broken plans were made

[Chorus]
Broken devotion
Can I jump in the gun?
And fly over the ocean
Can I jump in the gun?
And string up a net across Lafayette
And sing of my deeds while I’m gone
And I'll spin some lies to tell you upon
My return from the ends of the earth

[Verse 2]
She and I would death defy and promenade
She and I were profligate as de rigueur
She and I were for a Burton Taylor made
She and I won't find another me and her

[Chorus]
Broken devotion
Can I jump in the gun?
And fly over the ocean
Can I jump in the gun?
And string up a net across Lafayette
And sing of my deeds while I’m gone
And I'll spin some lies to tell you upon
My return from the ends of the earth
[Bridge]
Oh love, like a sundown harbour (My sunflower, my ringpip, my sunflower, my ringpip)
Oh love, like a falling bomb (My sunflower, my ringpip, my sunflower, my ringpip)
Oh my love (My sunflower, my ringpip)
Give her wings and armour (My sunflower, my ringpip)
Oh my love (My sunflower, my ringpip)
Gotta be long gone (My sunflower, my ringpip)

[Chorus]
Broken devotion
Can I jump in the gun?
And fly over the ocean
Can I jump in the gun?
And string up a net across Lafayette
And sing of my deeds while I’m gone
And I'll spin some lies to tell you upon
My return from the ends of the earth
