when we can't begin
unless it's with an argument
we're losing out on
love for the sake of it
I was thinking we can go and live
in a monastery
throw away the imperatives
make our pockets empty
'cause I'm feeling bankrupt
and I'm losing speed
and I don't want to hold on
to anything
when I misbehaved
to get what I wanted
was that wrong when what I wanted was
love and affection
let's get out
let's get out
let's get out
let's get out
I was thinking we can go and live
in a monastery
unless it's with an argument
we're losing out on
love for the sake of it
I was thinking we can go and live
in a monastery
throw away the imperatives
make our pockets empty
'cause I'm feeling bankrupt
and I'm losing speed
and I don't want to hold on
to anything
when I misbehaved
to get what I wanted
was that wrong when what I wanted was
love and affection
let's get out
let's get out
let's get out
let's get out
I was thinking we can go and live
in a monastery
