Some dehumanizing trend is definitely at play
She left when she should have stayed
But that’s the price a suitor must pay
He can quickly become the seductresses’ prey,

Our insensitive hearts that so quickly break apart
Casualties of lies and non-starts
I fell poisoned by a lover’s dart
Oh and I thought I was so inscrutable and smart,

Today we will save a puppy and abort a child
Save the whales they’re so tender and mild
Yet leave our lover broken and beguiled
Like a cat you played with the mouse for a while,

My blood you could see spilled on the tile
This was your unique and calculating style
Taking them down in single file
Burying their hearts along a country mile,

I’m not quite sure anymore
Seems I already know the score
Tooth fairies and folklore
There must be other planets to explore,

Those are the slim chances of love
Elevating your lover on a pedestal high above
The Devil’s work I’m thinking of
This world is no place for the gentle dove.
