You're like a messiah, kid
Little kingdoms in your chest

I told you, we'd make it on for another
I told you, we'd make it on for all night (put on all our best)

This is how they will live on
We'd looked better if we win

I told you, we'd make it on for another (oh, I've been getting calls now out here)
I told you, we'd make it on for another (on their mouths and chest)

Help this love before you leave
Demonstrations lack caress

I want you to take you, call on for life (thank you for creating souls)
The longer we make this, got no way there (children sleep with dicks)

The Yukon keeps me up all night
Complication sees your best

Told you, I want it here longer for you (I've been getting calls now out here)
I waited, I waited, it's late night, she's waiting at home (on their mouths and chest)

We've got love and hate, it's the only way
We've got love and hate, it's the only way

I think, it's almost crime
I think, it's almost crime
I think, it's almost crime
I think, it's almost time

    I think it is very possible what slp44 said. After listening to a live, clear-as-a-bell acoustic version w/ Lisa Lobsinger, I referred back to the CD version (the verses were sung in a different order) to get something like this for the first half of the song:

    I told you we'd make it, up for another I told you we'd make it, up for more now (Put on all that best)

    This is how they will wear their all We'd looked better when we're dead

    I told you we'd make it, up for another (Nothing even comes down like this)
    I told you we'd make it on for another (Nothing amounts to shit)

    Help this love before you leave Demonstrations like caress

    I wanted to save it, I got that from you (Naked for us, it's been so silent) I told you I'd make it, I got no way in here (Children sleep with dicks) ...

    Wouldn't you know it? I had no idea this thing was explicitly a LOVE song. I love the line sung by Drew: "Naked for us, it's been so silent." Wooow. Awesome.
