lyrics to "Madder Than Love"

Open up your door to me
Please don't make me shove
Let's swagger through the shallows
In the springtime of our love
Walk summer's sapphire shores
Beneath the crimson skies above
Then fall into the autumn
Like we're falling into love
Warm me all the winter
as if I was your dove

Oh, I'm mad, mad, madder
Madly in love

I want to stare into your eyes
Feel your skin like mother's pearl
You send my spirit sailing baby
You give my heart a twirl
But I feel as if I'm drowning
In a deep adrenaline swirl
Don't know if I can take it
Should I find another girl
Who lets me breathe a little
Gets me off this tilt-a-whirl

Oh, I'm mad, mad, madly
Madder than love

I want to feel the velvet hammer
Beating of your heart
But its rhythm is so sensual
It gives mine fits and starts
I'm drowning underwater
In a sea beneath your swell
Which way the world is spinning
I can no longer tell
I can no longer tell

Both feet were in heaven
But now one of them's in hell
I think I better ditch you baby
I gotta cure your spell
Pick back up the chains I tossed
Into your wishing well
No I'm gonna leave you baby
Back on lonely street I'll dwell
Love's a game for fools
At least we played it well

Oh, I'm mad, mad, madly
Madder than love
Mad, mad, madly,
Madder than love

Open up your door to me
please don't make me shove
let's swagger through the shallows
in the springtime of our love
walk summer's sapphire shores
beneath the crimson skies above
then fall into the autumn
like we're falling into love
warm me all the winter
as if I was your dove

Oh, I'm mad, mad, madder
madly in love
mad, mad, madder,
madly in love

I want to stare into your eyes
feel your skin like Mother's pearl
you send my spirit sailing baby
you give my heart a twirl
but it feels as if I'm drowning
in a deep adrenaline swirl
don't know if I can take it

oh, I'm mad, mad, madly

Track Name: The Crystal Ship
Before you slip into unconsciousness
I'd like to have another kiss
another flashing chance at bliss
another kiss
another kiss

The days are bright
and filled with pain
Enclose me in your gentle rain
The time you ran was too insane
We'll meet again
We'll meet again

Oh tell me where your freedom lies
The streets are fields that never die
Deliver me from reasons why
you'd rather cry
I'd rather fly

The Crystal Ship
is being filled
A thousand girls
A thousand thrills
A million ways to spend your time
When we get back
I'll drop a line
Track Name: If Ever I Would Leave You
If ever I would leave you
It wouldn't be in summer
Seeing you in summer
I never would go
Your hair streaked with sunlight
Your lips red as flame
Your face with a luster
That puts gold to shame

But if I'd ever leave you
It wouldn't be in autumn
How I'd leave in autumn
I never will know
I've seen how you sparkle
When fall nips the air
I know you in autumn
and I must be there

And could I leave you running merrily through the snow
Or on a wintry evening when you catch the fires glow?

If ever I would leave you
it wouldn't be in springtime
knowing how in spring
I'm bewitched by you so
Oh no, not in springtime
Summer, Winter, or Fall
No never would I leave you
at all

If ever I would leave you
it wouldn't be in springtime
knowing how in spring
I'm bewitched by you so
Oh no, not in springtime
Summer, Winter, or Fall
No never would I leave you
at all
Track Name: A Thousand Kisses Deep
The ponies run
the girls are young
the odds are there to beat
You win a while
and then it's done
your little winning streak
and summoned now to deal
with your invincible defeat
You live your life as if it's real
a thousand kisses deep

I'm turning tricks
I'm getting fixed
I'm back on boogie street
You lose your grip
and then you slip
into the masterpiece
and maybe I had miles to drive
and promises to keep
you ditch it all to stay alive
a thousand kisses deep

And sometimes when the night is slow
the wretched and the meek
we gather up our hearts and go
a thousand kisses deep

Confined to sex
we pressed against
the limits of the sea
I found there were
no oceans left
for scavengers like me
I made it to the forward deck
I blessed our remnant fleet
and then consented to be wrecked
a thousand kisses deep

I'm turning tricks
I'm getting fixed
I'm back on boogie street
I guess the won't
exchange the gifts
that you were meant to keep
and quiet is the thought of you
the file on you complete
except what we forgot to do
a thousand kisses deep

The ponies run
the girls are young
the odds are there to beat
You win a while
and then it's done
Your little winning streak
And summoned now to deal
with your invincible defeat
You live your life as if it's real
A thousand kisses deep
