Your love is like a ticking tambourine
You echo thick and thin
And you are good at giving in
To what you've been ... but leave me in
Your beat is fast, we bleed but we hold on
I know this fragile feeling
And it's aching and it's streaming
What is on ... and then you're gone
Your eternal tune is blue
Your eternal tune is blue
And if yours is, mine is too
Please shoot me a song
One I can die to
You're pleasant but you're playing on repeat
And I prefer to puzzle
And to sample, sing, and shuffle
Off the beat ... oh dear, indeed
Your eternal tune is blue
Your eternal tune is blue
And if yours is, mine is too
Please save me a song
One that will shock you
(Solo)
Your love is like a troubled tambourine
You're not supposed to be
My lucky hand just holding on
To all it can ... and all it can't
Your eternal tune is blue
Your eternal tune is blue
And if yours is, mine is too
Your eternal tune is blue
Your eternal tune is blue
And if yours is mine is too
Though if it were up to you
You'd send me a song
One I could move to
