	I sing
	The bebop apocalypse
	Lean into you
	God's hands on my hips
	Grip the midnight microphone
	Steel every cell of my flesh and bone
	I wrestle my angel
	In smoky stage lights
	Climb Jacob's ladder
	Two thousand more flights
	Tell St. Valentine, Hey gimme five—
	Baby our love song must survive
	We were born in the dirt
	On our hands and knees
	But started out climbing
	Deciduous trees
	We learned to sway
	Ridiculously high
	Hungry to taste
	Mouthfuls of sky
	Now I bring all our secrets
	To show and tell
	How we dragged each other
	Through heaven and hell
	It's our smoking gun
	But hey, we're still alive
	Baby our love song must survive
	Your third-story windows
	On thirteenth and Main
	Still glow with an eerie
	Mysterious flame
	Where we learned to slow dance
	By dawn's early light
	And tried to be tender
	With all of our might
	And just down the street
	At the Milner Hotel
	Rosie's sloppin' the hogs
	And the infidels
	They all went out of business
	When the market took a dive
	Baby our love song must survive
	There's nights when I mostly
	Just feel like a thief
	With a prized possession
	A gleeful belief
	That love's both a joke
	And a serious matter
	You don't quite know your muse
	But you know when you've had her
	When I first saw your face yeah
	It hurt you to smile
	Your lips tasted like tears
	I could kiss them for miles
	On a midnight train—
	May it never arrive
	Baby our love song must survive
	There's days when we lose
	Our appetite
	And days when we're bruised
	And losing the fight
	Of a lifetime, days
	When we're looking inside
	Wondering if
	We're half dead or alive
	But the slow honey drip
	Of those young nights long gone—
	The memory's a friendly whip
	Urging us on
	My mouth on your lips
	Is just trying to revive
	Baby our love song must survive
	This love's the affirmation
	Of everything good
	The oxygen coursing
	Through the blood
	The feel of being understood
	The belief that, Oh Yes,
	Somehow we could
	And the milkyway looks
	Like a flimsy blouse
	But now we're gentrified
	In our civil war house
	Safe as a painting
	By Currier and Ives
	Baby our love song must survive
	So I still sing
	The bebop apocalypse
	Lean into you
	God's hands on my hips
	Grip the midnight microphone
	Steel every cell of my flesh and bone
	I still wrestle my angel
	In smoky stage lights
	Climb Jacob's ladder
	Two thousand more flights
	C'mon St. Valentine, how 'bout a high five—
	Baby our love song must survive

	I sing
	The bebop apocalypse
	Lean into you
	God' s hands on my hips
	Grip the midnight microphone
	Steel every cell of my flesh and bone
	I wrestle my angel
	In smoky stage lights
	Climb Jacob' s ladder
	Two thousand more flights
	Tell St. Valentine, Hey gimme five
	Baby our love song must survive
	We were born in the dirt
	On our hands and knees
	But started out climbing

	We learned to sway
