Is This What They Used to Call Love

Is This What They Used to Call Love - The Magnetic Fields

Feels like December

But it's May

I've gone as pale

As doris day

The blue sky's torn asunder

By clouds that warn of thunder

Is this what they used to call love

Your face surrounds me everywhere

Like a kaleidoscope's nightmare

This outpouring of emotion

As boring as an ocean

Is this what they used to call love

Well it musn't be the chicken pox

I've never met a chicken

But whenever I get near you dear

My heart starts to sicken

In the ninth circle

Of this hell

My heart is burning and unwell

What demons lie within it

I'll die in one more minute

Is this what they used to call love

Is this what they used to call love
