Lyrics
Well I told you once, before it began
This affection will not stand
I'm not the kind to put up forever
With uncomplicated earthly pleasures
I won't tolerate in perpetuity
Vague notions of perfect unity
Return on investment, return to sender
Checking the bank book, checking the ledger
So many Rubicons and so many rivers to cross
I want to be your lover, but I'm already your boss
You go between phases, separated by oceans
You know the meaning of that gaze
It's love and emotion
Love and emotion
Love and emotion
Well I told you once, before I glanced askance
I don't believe in fate, I don't believe in chance
Check out the statistics, check out the history
Don't let the mystery be you, embrace the mystery
I'm not about to apologize
Because I take my cue from old white guys
But if I wasn't curious, I must surely confess
I still love you, but you failed the test
So many Rubicons and so many rivers to cross
I want to be your lover, but I'm already your boss
You go between phases, separated by oceans
You know the meaning of that gaze
It's love and emotion
Love and emotion
Love and emotion
So many Rubicons and so many rivers to defy
The human equivalent of "Satan, on yours be done"
When the whole thing goes down, and the roads are open
You'll remember the sound
It's love and emotion
Love and emotion
Love and emotion
Love and emotion
Love and emotion
