Lyrics

KRYPTONITE

I?ve been alone away a while, tilling fields on a far hillside
Thinking about the universal truth
A long way from the summer light, digging deep in the dead of night. Like a slowburn suicide.
I?ve been too preoccupied with the whys and wheres of life
Shut up and live it all right
Ain?t love like kryptonite, men of steel will lose all fight
As long as you hold me tight

I walked alone with you a while, like a stranger in denial
Soon I learned you weren?t my style
Cos new love does lead astray, in a cool and chemical way
Will it last til the light of day?
When the mood and chips are down
When that black dog comes around
Makes you wanna start looking around
So long its all right, after all it was never quite right
Time to kiss and say goodnight

And good luck, good luck too
Good luck, good luck too
Good luck, good luck to you
Hope your life is long and good
Hope you find the love you should

I?ve been down and up and down
And scattered that seed around
What I guess I finally found is
True love ain?t won like gold
It kinda creeps into your soul
Then it stays til the stars grow cold
So if you?re in despite, keep your both arms open wide
Waiting for the next good ride
And like the sun on a winter day
By surprise it?ll come your way
And with luck it?ll be okay

So good luck, good luck you
Good luck, good luck you
Good luck, good luck to you
Hope your life is long and good
Hope you find the love you should
