Battleground

The currency of boyish good looks has run its course for the time being
Don't waste your money on artefacts on sale at the local museum
Deals you made and promises broke - the cost of living cheaply
Houses close and people go searching for their belongings

The greatest love is a battleground
Here are my arms and here is my heart

Low profile, I want cake, cash changing hands, shake-ups and stand-offs
Special one, pierce balloons, people popping up left, right and centre
Rain check, deliveries on, first up, last to get even
Whispers fly above you like cartoon captions, words reading bigger than what's spoken

The greatest love is a battleground
Here are my arms and here is my heart

Just a surface hit, just a surface hit...
No damage done, no damage done...
