I stood there beside myself,   Thinking hard about the weather   Then came by a friend of mine   Suggested we go out together   Then I knew it from the start:   This friend of mine would fall apart   Pretending not to see his gun,   I said "let's go out and have some fun"   I know, you know, you believe in a land of love   I know, you know, we believe in a land of love      I have always thought about   Staying here and going out   Tonight I should have stayed at home,   Playing with my pleasure zone   He has always been so strange,   I'd often thought he was deranged   Pretending not to see his gun,   I said "let's go out and have some fun"   I know, you know, we believe in a land of love   I know, you know, we believe in a land of love      When you are alone at night   You search yourself for all the things   That you believe are right   If you give it all away   You throw away your only chance to be here today   Then a fight breaks out on your street   You lose another broken heart in a land of meat   My friend, he took his final breath   Now I know the perfect kiss is the kiss of death
