Ferrari in a Demolition Derby

Your love is like a butterfly
Mine for a day and then it dies
Just responds to green paper and blue skies
And then it's gone, it's gone, it's gone

Your love is like a velvet glove
Crushing a lily
Alluring and brutal to all it cannot have
And so I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone

I built an urn to keep your love
For the dust that it's become
The heart is on treacherous terrain
A Ferrari in a demolition derby
A wave on the eternally churning main
When it's not lost, it's breaking

Do you remember Venice, love, when I read your palm?
Your love line was longer than the Bridge of Sighs
Prisons and palaces contained in both your eyes
Ti amo, amor, amor

I remember Venice as a sinking ship
Calamity in Titian
My love line was weaker than your trembling lower lip
Pint-sized by rum, by rum, by rum

I built an urn to keep your love
For the dust that it's become
The heart is on treacherous terrain
A Ferrari in a demolition derby
A wave on the eternally churning main
If it's not lost, it's breaking
