Love will save you when the ocean splits itself in two
And love will save you when the cold wind blows right through you
And love will save you when the poison eats the precious air
And love will save you from the snake that crawls around down there
But it won't save me

Love will save you from the evil and the greed of ignorant men
And love will save you from the guilt you feel when you betray your only friend
And love will save you from yourself when you lose control
And love will save you from all the lies your lover ever told you
But it won't save me

And love will save you from the truth when you think you're free
And love will save you from the cold light of boring reality
And love will save you from the corruption of your lazy-minded soul
And love will save you from your selfish and distorted goals
But it won't save me

Love will save you from the black night and the lightning and the ghost
And love will save you from your misery, then tie you to the bloody post
And love will save you from the hands that pull you down beneath the sea
And love may save all you people, but it will never, never save me
No it won't save me
