Hear the ol' whistle blowin'
they're pulling the plug
we got to get goin'
they got our hole dug
are you ready? are you ready, are you ready to love?
And are you ready? ready, are you ready to love?

the Devils in the Blues
smoke it to the stub
never accept
then accept with a shrug
are you ready? are you ready, are you ready to love?
And are you ready? ready, are you ready to love?

to love
to love
to love
to love
they got safety fifth
and they take the world straight
whatever it is
they'll just have to wait
to get pretend back
who wants to be tough
to be permanent
permanent enough
are you ready? are you ready, are you ready to love?
and are you ready? ready, are you ready to love?
are you ready? are you ready, are you ready to love?
and are you ready? ready, are you ready to love?
to love
to love
to love
to love
to love
