Valentine's Day

Sat down to write a love song
For my valentine
But I did'nt have one
So I thought I'd waste some time
And make me a bloody ballad of pain
to all you girls out breakin hearts
"The devil forged your soul in hell"
Now that's a pretty decent start

I revelled in the details
of what I call the truth
the first impressions, second guessin
and the final howdyadoo

But my writting hand got shakey
and the room began to spin
a two winged naked baby
plunged an arrow through my skin

I felt my skull breaking open
It oozed out caramel
the sound of Celine Dions voice confirmed
I was in hell
(Chorus)
Oh my Valentine
I can't fight you no more
Oh my Valentine
Cant spite you no more
I'm sticking with safer subjects
like cold beer and sunsets
Maybe write a few bum checks
To the IRS and do my time
Far away from Valentine's Day
(missing exposition about how I got home safe)

So I turnned on the T.V.
for news around the world
Charlie Brown was pinning for the little red haired girl
I sat and cheered that bald little kid
but like it could have been forseen
Lucy pulled the football back
I ran up and kicked the T.V screen right in!
(Chorus)
