This is a track about a man who adores the beauty of his woman so much that he would not be able to see her gorgeousness fade away. So, he decides to keep this beauty intact, by cutting her woman down while she is in her prime, and, by remembering her in this prime form forever and beyond. The song is a declaration of the intent.
lyrics
lovelock
you're throwing in
this towel-me
to me to heed
loveluck
I'm sober as a crowbar, my love
Whatever, whener we want, we've got
no, your beauty doesn't make me feel alone
yes, indeed, I prefer to call it home
you are the beating of my heart, my love
you are all the things I'm not
you're my lost and found
your beauty is my favorite impact
I propose a way on how to keep it intact
you, reigning in your bloom
I'll give proper hell to impertinent doom
you, reigning in your bloom
I'll give proper hell to impertinent doom
oh, gorgeous, your beauty won't abandon bloom
no, gorgeous, your beauty won't abandon bloom
oh, gorgeous, your beauty won't abandon bloom
no, gorgeous, your beauty won't abandon bloom
you're the beating of my heart, my love
We won't see your beauty abandod its bloom
let me tell you why
spin me round and round, my love
we won't see your beauty abandon its bloom
'cuz I cut you down
I so cut you down
you're the beating of my heart
despite this life that do us apart
in me you'll remain in your full bloom
when I cut you down
in me you'll remain in your full bloom
your beauty doesn't make me feel alone
I do prefer to call it my home
