lyrics

my name's joe, i work with my hands at the steel manufacturing plant
my name's noah, i'm 29, wasting my daylight hours in the mind
one day we both had came in late to work while punching in the clock
his hand brushed mine
we broke into a nervous sweat and tried to pull our hands away
but it's love this time

i meet noah and joe meets me when the sun hides blushing in the trees
we caress with our weathered hands
i cry with noah, he understands

our love has blossomed like a cherry tree
he bloomed right into me and now we're free
we've gotten reckless with our rendez-vous now everybody knows
our secret shows

they say we shouldn't be together because we can't make babies
i think if we try we can make babies like crazy
they twisted you up and said find another
but i'm the only person ever meant to be your lover
it can't be wrong when it feels so right
it's always growing like a parasite
and i think of your face late at night
the workday's over, you're that soothing night
so goes the old ballad of woe, noah and joe

our boss thinks it doesn't compute, he's a robot fucker in a suit
dusty rules, shiny man, he will stop our lovin' if he can
word has got out and sadly now our little push against the grain was marked by fate
the shiny man has notified us that although it's not a crime we waste his time

suddenly some rubble shakes free, everyone escapes except for me
come whisper to me through this rubble, joe, i'm running out of air
i'm here i'm scared
the shiny man has killed our precious time by collapsing the mine
love one last time

they say we shouldn't be together cause we can't make babies
i think if we try we can make babies like crazy
my limbs are all twisted, i can't find another
but you're the only person ever meant to be my lover
something's wrong where it felt so right
the universe killed me like a parasite
and i'll think of your face every night
this dark mine's closed and you're the only light
so goes the ballad of woe, noah and joe

noah! joe!
why don't we go where everything is gold and we can touch eachother's souls?
noah! joe!
why don't we go where everything is gay and they can not press on the brakes?
