[Verse 1]
So you be a boxer, and me, I'm a dancer
I will show you my moves
Will you show me your speeding fist?
If I'm bleeding off a turnbuckle
Do you prance 'round your victory ring with kisses?
(la la la la)
[Chorus]
It's the way of the world
We are bound by the war that divides
I'd stay out of that war by your side
[Verse 2]
You be a Lion, and me, I'm an antelope
I'll scamper away, cross the sunny Serengeti
Will you give chase? Will you wear out my legs
For another day, and another race?
[Chorus]
It's the way of the world
We are bound by the war that divides
I'd stay out of that war by your side
[Bridge 1]
Now who's done the worst things they ever will do?
Darling, I have in a dream and I did them to you
Though we fall out a window, yeah we rupture our spleen
The worst parts are hidden, they'll never be seen
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
So you be a doctor, and me I'm a witch-woman
How many nipples could Lucifer have
Might you have miscounted? Yes, you might
[Chorus]
It's the way of the world
We are bound by the war that divides
I'd stay out of that war by your side
[Outro]
So take these bloody paws and my leather gloves
This maliciously blunt finger tip
This crude hosanna crying out
As I press this rotting wine to your lips
There will be no war in the world
Save in this violent slumber
