F Cm
Well the lovers are here and they're full of sweat
F
And you want that
C
They're gonna take this sterile place and make it live
Dm Am
Well of course they smell a little
Dm C
Did they just get off the train?
Bb
Because they're lovers
C
Yes they is
Dm C
Well of course they smell a little
Dm C
Didn't they just get off the train?
Am
Wasn't that them out there by the youth hostel
Bb C
Crying in the rain?
Dm C
Because they're the ones who laugh and cry
Bb
And they take so long when they say goodbye
Cause they're lovers
F
Yes they is
The lovers are here and they're full of sweat
Laughing crying so upset
The lovers are here and they're full of sweat
That's how it goes
Gonna take this sterile place and make it live
Well they ain't no good at business
Maybe they're gonna write you a bad check
But they're lovers
Yes they is
Well of course they smell a little
They didn't bring no change of clothes
Wasn't that them out there by the youth hostel
Laughing in the snow?
Cause they're the ones who laugh and cry
And they take so long when they say goodbye
Because they're lovers
Yes they is
The lovers are here and they're full of sweat
Laughing crying so upset
They'll take this dust bowl
The emotion they got
Puts feeling in the place
