Two young lovers with talent and brains
Vis-a-vis, undercover with silent refrains
But somebody erred and it never was contained
Two young brothers in fortune and fame
It's the last thing to go and ain't it a shame
When the tears are all cried and nothing else remains
Its the delicate art of venial sin
But there's more to last night 'cause i know where you've been
You swore that you've love me and you'd give me your days
With my pens and my papers and all my crazy ways
But I was given to drink, you were given to indulge
What were we thinking look where we've fallen from
You float with a grace I've not yet seen
And you smile like a friend but you'll kill like a fiend
And its late at night and I'm covered in ink with a candle and a dream
Well its two young lovers with talent and brains
It's the first thing to go when the stamina wanes
And the who thing falls apart
Its the delicate art of venial sin
But there's more to last night 'cause i know where you've been
You swore that you've love me and you'd give me your days
With my pens and my papers and all my crazy ways
But I was given to drink, you were given to indulge
What were we thinking look where we've fallen from
