about

The first track recorded by The Hornets way back in December 1998. Very proud of this one.

lyrics

Love is an Opiate
When evening yawns its way through our greying window
And the shadows of the drawn day assemble on our wall
We discuss our day over dinner, fold clothes or do nothing at all

When we close the dark door against the cold night
And we are spread-out and undone against the sky
No see of troubles can drown the fire raging in our lovers eyes

Love is an Opiate

From our high room we watch the world's slow dissolve
We don't hear the crowds moaning in the hard street
or see them cut down, like a field of harvest wheat

Love is an Opiate
