Franklin Bruno - Just Because It's Dying lyrics
rate meYou don't stop loving something<br />
just because its dying, do you?<br />
You keep on hoping it will live.<br />
<br />
As when you first discovered<br />
that your lover's lying to you,<br />
and look for reasons to forgive.<br />
<br />
When you see the fireworks fizzle,<br />
hit the lake, and start to sizzle,<br />
don't you wish for one last missile <br />
to illuminate the sky? So do I.<br />
<br />
Some people lead a crippled dream out back to shoot it<br />
at the very first suspicion that it's lame.<br />
Others let theirs limp along, although their legs aren't very strong<br />
while there's a single, shaky step left in their frame.<br />
You don't stop loving something<br />
simply out of shame.<br />
<br />
Although the laws of motion <br />
don't just stop applying to you<br />
and everybody comes to rest,<br />
you don't stop loving something<br />
just because it's dying, do you?<br />
You press the clappers to its chest.<br />
<br />
Turn the knobs and flick the switches<br />
swear you'd give up untold riches<br />
for a fusillade of twitches to uncannily occur.<br />
Now watch it stir.
<br />
