"We never listened, Real Love we´re missing,
and tell her of a fortune, Real Love is riches,
scratch through the changes, Real Love is nameless,
so tired and helpless, Real Love is painless,
nobody mentions, we ever move to collect the solar questions,
demon scorn should not relax the laws of gravity"
