Eros prays we build our house upon him
Sees how well it stands, how long we last
Built upon the sand, on the idol Eros

So when he's gone can I do what Eros does?
What he does for us, he does for us
And when he's gone can it be the way it was?
Bring him back to us Is he all we've got
Our house built upon? On the idol Eros?

When our haven wavers in the wind
And walls all beg to be abandoned,
Blame the idol Eros
When the raven calls and all his melodies
All long to be forgotten,
Blame the idol Eros

What's left to say but I loved the way it was?
Cause I said I would, I've done all I could
See what he's done to us?
Oh the idol Eros

When our haven wavers in the wind
And walls all beg to be abandoned,
When the raven calls and all his melodies
All long to be forgotten,

Blame the idol Eros
