Cupid's Dead   





-you read the papers today?-  

 

I read the news today oh boy,  

About a tragic comedy  

Newspaper hinted suicide,  

The letterhead read Dear Johnny  

A tainted truth was all it said,  

Sleep tight now that  

You've made your bed  

An arrow that once pierced your heart  

Points to the apple on your head  

 

Three sides to every story  

Yours, mine  

And, Monday morning's  

 

CUPID'S DEAD, HEADLINES READ,  

CUPID'S DEAD  

CUPID'S DEAD, HEADLINES READ,  

CUPID'S DEAD  

 

Oh, Romeo, Oh, Romeo  

Where did our love go, Romeo?  

If you read between the headlines,  

You wouldn't be the last to know  

No mystery yet to unfold,  

A paperboy left in the cold  

A love was said to never die,  

Withered away and just got old  

 

'Our top story tonight,  

is a crime of passion  

The victim, an unidentified man,  

is found in bed, wearing only a diaper,  

holding a bow an arrow in one hand,  

and clutching a letter in the other.  

The letter simply read ...  

CUPID'S DEAD.'  

 

Extra, extra, extra,  

read all about it  

 

CUPID'S DEAD,  

 

Cupid is dead, deceased,  

I got peace of mind  

Still it's hard to forget,  

what it leaves behind  

A lot of love lost,  

your feelings are wasted,  

tasted the sweetness,  

but now you're faced with,  

the thought, of being alone  

Nor more companionship,  

you can handle it,  

just abandon it,  

leave it behind,  

and look for the brighter day  

Give it some time,  

cause it won't come right away  

You gotta be standing strong,  

hold on to your dignity  

Don't sit around,  

saying look what ya did to me  

It's time to move on,  

you gotta continue  

to look for a love,  

of a life that's within you  

Cupid is dead now,  

it's time to rely on,  

yourself to cope  

You got no shoulder to cry on  

DEAD
