Utilitarian Uses of Love

[Verse 1] By chance are you free Here's my room key and splayed limbs When I do me I play to win - Yeah (Promptly after we meet...) You'll need to go drink absinthe Under trees that grow leaves of absence (I left your ass alone) While nursing hearts like leaking gaskets [Hook] This freedom it tastes funny I am a case study Dealing with utilitarian uses of love To the ladies I'll be vague Because I'm stretching my sea legs Dipping my toe in the sleaziest cesspools above [Verse 2] My stage persona can be nude Because the following day, it's renewed And my subconscious is seafood - Yeah When you invite me, I cross over You'll smell burning and a waft sulfur You've crashed along the soft shoulder [Hook] (We've got time) (2x) [Bridge] Value sets and other moral imperatives Don't have a place And frankly we don't give a fuck about them - You do - I don't - You do - I don't - Yes, you do - No, I don't - You do - No, I don't We don't give a fuck about them (3x) (... of love) [Verse 3] The sex drive stupefies Makes you feel like you're in Junior High My impulses go unsupervised - Yeah I prowl on foot and spin a yarn When the crowd looks like wind farms My defense mechanism's been disarmed Yeah - This freedom it tastes funny I am a case study Dealing with utilitarian uses of love (2x) (Love)
