The Huffer and the Cutter

The huffer and the cutter

In the field of jimsonweed

They watch their thrumming hands

And feel life pound beneath their feet

They sought to matter

It was more than they could bear

They tried to shift their hearts

She was there and he was there

Love

Love made them beautiful at last

Love

Love made them beautiful at last

She doesn't fall in love

She takes hostages

Close with a high-class weeper

Ambition signals damage

She's uncorrupted

And yet she's too smart for grace

Innocence is no excuse

You read the rancor on her face

Love

Love made her beautiful at last

Love

Love made her beautiful at last

I don't believe you when you cry

I don't esteem your tears

Your heart is lying to you

The Arctic birds rebuke you

I was a skinny man

My dirty name was free

I gained the good fat

Then I burned myself in effigy

Love

Love made me beautiful at last

Love

Love made me beautiful at last

She was there and he was there

He was there and she was there

He was there and she was there

She was there and he was there

She was there and he was there

She was there and he was there
