Lyrics
Come walk with me thru the world we love so much
And we'll kill all the beautiful things we're not allowed to touch
We could fall in love, then hate 'cuz love never lasts
Then we'll dance on the graves of our enimies, won't that be a blast?
But oh, I'm ending my life with you 'cuz you're sharp as a knife
We're lost in the forest like Hansel and Gretel,
To burn
Come walk with me thru the world we love so much
And we'll kill all the beautiful things and people we're not allowed to touch
we could fall in love and then hate, yes hate
'Cuz love, we know that love stuff ever lasts
and we'll dance on the graves of our enemies you know it'll be a blast
Kaboom baby kaboom
But ohhhhh I'm ending my life with you
'Cuz you're sharp as a knife
we're lost in the forest like Hansel and Gretel
dont mind that wet stuff
I dont care if it's runnin' down your chest
So come walk with me thru the world we love so much
And we'll love all the beautiful things we're now allowed to touch.

Totally agree, I started to look over my taxes (again) while listening to River's version12 years ago

this version IS the original and superior. i LOVE Rivers' cover but it is CLEARLY a stripped down copy of this version. Rivers' "emotion" may take a front seat in his version but only because his is a simpler arrangement. also...as stated earlier, Gregg was 16/17 at the time this was written and recorded. and the bombast and contrasts of his arrangement are phenomenal. I bought this on cassette in 89 and it's been a fave ever since.12 years ago

@123legodude ironically rivers covered this song because of the emotion it had. on an even more ironic note, rivers was inspired to be more emotional in his music because of this guy.13 years ago
