are these official?

if not i think i hear a couple different things:

"the secret of love has caught its own tail and just won't give up" instead of cut..as in a dog chasing it's tail that finally catches it, but still chases it....

i dunno i could be wrong. as far as meaning, i have NO clue. maybe someone who is charged with an impossible task such as clipping an angel's wings.

Yes, "caught it's own tail". Yes, "made from a single blade." Those are the correct lyrics..... they are the the CD booklet
