I lost all my friends in an accident
I couldn't believe what happened
And are you coming home tonight
And is there time left for love?
The rumors said it was a serial killer
But they got hit by a caterpillar
You know the engine was still on
And I smashed a window, I could go on
And you know it was a very easy decision
She knew exactly how to please him
And is she coming home tonight
And is there time left for love?
For love, for love, for love
Is there time left in you?
Yeah, somebody should tell you to stop
Feel it coming out of my eyeballs
Is it just because you're jealous?
And you, yeah, somebody should tell you why
Crawling out of my skin
Is it just because we're old friends
Or is it because of love?
She took his hand in the emergency room
The doctor said he'd be back soon
So I put her down on the floor
A quick look, we drank some more
In a city where nothing really happens
It's so strange that all this happened to them
And is he coming home tonight
And is there time left for love?
Is there time left in you?
Yeah, somebody should tell you to stop
Feel it coming out of my eyeballs
Is it just because you're jealous?
And you, yeah, somebody should tell you why
Crawling out of my skin
Is it just because we're old friends
Or is it because of love, love?
Is it because of love, love?
I lost all my friends in an accident
I couldn't believe what happened
And is there time left for love
And are you coming home tonight?
I couldn't believe what happened
And are you coming home tonight
And is there time left for love?

Caterpillar as in the insect, or as in the brand of earthmoving machinery?
I'm tending to think the machinery considering the car references - "engine was still running" "smashed a window" etc, but I'm aware those references could also be about someone asphyxiating themselves with a car exhaust... but genereally people don't commit suicides as a team...
The "rumour" about the reason behind their death being a "serial killer" seems odd and clumsy - generally their lyrics are better than this. When you hear of a tragedy - ie. two young people dying - the first thing that comes to mind is not that they've been murdered by a serial killer; it seems like a strange rumour...
Great song nonetheless.
