This railroad track trestle
Its cement pilings
Our Molotovs splash
Fire in lieu of sports

We took to the heights
Over the Wide river railings
When one of us fall
No one else reports

( Chorus )
The heart in play
Tic tac toe
More than one O posed
A prize attack
And love's a machine
It's got a natural knack
Making more Exes

Beyond the slippery slope
Negotiate step by step
Hope is a fable
It's better to forget

Cowboy boots over a white water stretch
Across a break neck rope
Molar rocks wait below
that cabled stretch
Across the break neck rope
Hungry for skulls and ready to fetch
.. . The heart in play

( Chorus )
Tic tac toe
It's your move now
You put an X, and I put an O
It's your play now
Yeah love is a machine
It's a natural knack
Making more exes

Ive already had
.. what I had deserved
There's no open ground ahead
Just a steady stillness
Just a .. . feathered nerve
Excommunicates ex expats
I'm waiting for that natural fact

( Chorus )
Tic tac toe
Tic tac toe
Love's a machine
Once you get to know

Tic tac toe
Tic tac toe
No one suspects
Love's a machine
And it plays its X
Waitin to play the ex

Unbuckled seatbelt and I don't care
There's more exes everywhere
