What Went Wrong

Renegades from grief trying to find

A shipload of gold from the mine

I said lovers living on what went wrong

Spent our time on a coral reef

Abandoned ship when we lost our teeth

I said lovers living on what went wrong

What about living in magic hour?

Can't find the lock to the marble tower

I said lovers living on what went wrong

You found an orphan on your step

You cut its mind on your bicep, yeah

Living on what went wrong

Then comes a dream, beats to a chime

Foreign fire engines on your mind

I said lovers living on what went wrong

Talk about jewels, talk from fools

Everyone's trying to get through school

I said lovers living on what went wrong

The money's down, the race is on

You can't find a kidney in Hong Kong

I said lovers living on what went wrong

What about Louie and Marie?

They lost their heads at the jamboree

I said lovers living on what went wrong

There's JFK and LBJ

Gotta learn to tango in the USA

I said lovers living on what went wrong

Live like a freak child 'til they fill ya

Living next door to a serial killer

Lovers living on what went wrong

Live in a town with seven hills

Can't get to sleep, I need my pills

I said lovers living on what went wrong

You hear someone at your door

Knock, knock, knock, do they still want more?

I said lovers living on what went wrong

I'm burned out on the trail

Cut loose by betrayal

Returned all your mail

Oh, what went wrong?

I wanna know what went wrong

I oughta know what went wrong

I wanna know what went wrong

Shoot that rifle, ducks on a ledge

Know what I mean, don't hedge your bets

I said lovers living on what went wrong

Pick up a phone, call it experience

If you're lucky they call it genius

Lovers living on what went wrong
