I married in the Asun, (tell me where, tell me where)
against the stone of Abuildings Ebuilt beDfore 
you and I were Aborn. (start again, start again)
To my heart, conAfusion Egrows Dagainst.
The muscles fought so Along (fought so long)
to control against
the pull of Aone magEnet to another AmagEnet to another AmagEnet.
ANow we look up in (tell me who, tell me who)
to the eyes of Abullies Ebreaking Dbacks.
They seem so very Atough. (it's a lie; it's a lie)
They seem so very Ascared of Eus.D  
I look into the Amirror (look into)
for evil that just Adoes not Eexist.D  
I don't see what they Asee. (tell them that; tell them that)
Try to control the pull of Aone magEnet
to anotheAr magEnet,
to anotheAr magEnet,
to anotheAr magEnet to another.
