urban absurdia

slow dancing in time
my barren heart and I
your name used to taste so sweet
then you beat the love right out of me
it's a mystery how people behave
how we long for a life as a slave
when he kissed me I gladly gave in
to a fight nobody could win

man, he left me blue
and if I could I would do it too
I tell you now like I told you before
love is a powerful force
and it's a mystery how people behave
how we long for a life as a slave
and tumble into any open arms
that will only ever do you harm

oh, you, you, it's always you
the best kisser that I ever knew
true love is cruel love
not much to be proud of
nerve-wrecking, acrobatic, backwards bend
all for a happy end

it's a mystery how people behave
how we worry ourselves to the grave
when he kissed me I lost everything
then I got up and did it again

oh, you, you, it's always you
the hardest hitter that I ever knew
true love is cruel love
not much to be proud of
ass-kissing, mercy-missing, faithless friend
all for a happy end
