I'm hoping to display your shame Like trophies on my wall These tender hands keep holding on While watching angels fall Your smile's captured in my mind Like mercy on these hands (These hands, these hands) Put me down, put me down But I won't let you go Break my heart like a wild horse Till you're mine to know (Mine to know, mine to know) Loneliness is science, baby And I've got it down (Down, down, down) By noon I'll try forgetting you While walking down these streets Your prayers have left you on your knees But still you're haunting me Like bears forever frozen there Still leaping on my wall (On my wall, watch me fall) [Chorus repeats] The taxidermist knows the truth About preserving love With wildcat grins we're living on Till stars collapse above I'll keep your heart in formaldehyde Forever young and wild (Young and wild, young and wild) [Whispered] Loneliness is science [Building background vocals] Oh Keep this love from fading Watch the heart still beating Every piece worth keeping Baby, Till there's nothing left Put me down, put me down But I won't let you go Break my heart like a wild horse Till you're mine to know (Mine to know, mine to know) Loneliness is science, baby And I've got it down (Down, down, down) Put me down, put me down But I won't let you go Won't let go, won't let go...* Break my heart like a wild horse
