The Currency of Love

The currency of love plummets, now baby baby our hands barely brush The pressures of the world Left fissures in you and me Remember when we met We were so carefree then Before we lived in debt You tell me that I lost All the romance in my step We argue every night Of broken promises and Of wars that are to come You sleep across the sheets I can feel you toss and turn Wake up, repeat the day This is not the way that We saw it in our youth You laugh between the tears And I say we look like fools Honest love, you want know Is the forecast true Do doomsday prophets really know Will the sky sustain the blue So, I turn and say to her Laura Laura Laura Laura Laura Laura Laura Laura Laura, so what Laura, so what Laura Laura Laura Laura Laura Laura Laura Laura Laura, so what Laura, so what So, what do we gotta do To get back the love we knew The currency of love Once quantified Will only get used up So, I propose a toast Let's start over at hello How do you do, madame I'd love to take you out Galavanting on the Old East side Climb up the fire escape Drink cheap wine under the moon You say I must be mad But you broke a smile and I say you're kinda crazy too I ask what are your dreams I see sadness well up in you This girl, she once told me Our fragile plastic world It is so damn full of waste They make things just to break But that's not how it should be Honest love, you want to know Is the forecast true Do the doomsday prophets really know Will the sky sustain the blue So, I turn say Laura Laura Laura Laura Laura Laura Laura Laura Laura, so what Laura, so what Laura Laura Laura Laura Laura Laura Laura Laura Laura, so what Laura, so what So, what do we gotta do To get back the love we knew The currency of love plummets and baby, baby Our hands barely brush They make things just to break But that's not how it should be
