[Verse 1]
Turn out the lights, close your eyes
Turn up the silence, the heartache of your life
Dance forever under the lights, this brutal love
Oh, how you want it, you're beggin' for it (Ooh-ooh)
But you can't have it, even if you try (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
It's in the clutches, in the hands of this brutal love (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

[Verse 2]
Old toys, this plastic heart
Lovers and fools are tearin' me apart
Here comes trouble, the uninvited, this brutal love
Danger, not quite at home
The eyes of temptation, the flesh on my bones
Hello stranger, I'm a disaster, this brutal love

[Chorus]
Bad luck, bitters and soda
Anguish and shame, the modern fool
Bad sex, buy me a train wreck
Somethin' for my troubled mind

[Interlude]
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
Bad luck, bitters and soda
Anguish and shame, the modern fool
Bad love, kiss me, I'm loaded
Somethin' for my troubled mind

[Outro]
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Drop out, drop-dead hideous
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
How low is this brutal love?
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Drop out, drop-dead hideous
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
How low is this brutal love?
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Drop out, drop-dead hideous
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
How low is this brutal love?
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Drop out, drop-dead hideous
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
How low is this brutal love?
This brutal love
