bloodlines won't save the world
family can't save this girl
so let's watch those smoke rings twist and twirl
'cause honey love won't save the world

in some slow and lonely suburban town
a teenage girl is about to drown
over the bridge, another lost lovely pearl
'cause honey love won't save the world

he waits outside with daisies drawn
pacing with indecision till he arrived here at dawn
never will his passion for lover unfurl
'cause honey love won't save the world

ice hits the bottom of the glass
what follows it is in his hands
what won't save him won't save his girl
'cause honey love won't save the world

she sits and waits nails painted black
shivering down the ridges of a defeated back
no stopping the tears, her mind's a whirl
'cause honey love won't save the world

she cries 'cause sunshine's gone away
because the world is here to stay
pleasure and pain to make toes curl
'cause honey love won't save the world

he sleeps all day, day into night
resolved to rest without a fight
porcelain prayers and empty bottles hurled
'cause honey love won't save the world

won't save the girl
won't save her world
can't save the girl
can't save her world

can't save the child
can't save the artist
can't save her lover
can't save the rest

let the smoke rings twist and twirl
'cause honey love won't save the world
