I built another temple to a stranger

I gave away my heart to the rushing wind

I set my course to run right into danger

Sought the company of fools instead of friends



You know I've been unfaithful

Lovers in lines

While you're turning over tables with the rage of a jealous kind

I chose the gallows to the aisle

Thought that love would never find

Hanging ropes will never keep you

And your love of a jealous kind

Love of a jealous kind



Trying to jump away from rock that keeps on spreading

For solace in the shift of the sinking sand

I'd rather feel the pain all too familiar

Than to be broken by a lover I don't understand

'Cause I don't understand



One hundred other lovers, more, one hundred other altars

If I should slow my pace and finally subject me to grace

And love that shames the wise, betrays the heart's deceit and lies

And breaks the back of foolish pride
