 When the arrogant goddess  of love came to steal my  shoes
 She had a white hot pistol  and a homemade heart  tattoo
 Singing one's  to give and one's  to take away
 But neither  of them will keep  you off your knees
 The children  bowed and bolted  off the stage
 While the lion  and the lamb kept fighting  for the shade tree
 When the winsome  god of war came to set  me  free
 He had a couple of coke  bottles full of gasoline
 Singing all  I love is all  that I allow
 And he blew  me a kiss of a big  burned hand
 I nearly  choked with smoke  and fell down
 While the lion  and the lamb kept shooting  at a tin can
 When the gun shy  goddess of love came back to patch  things  up
 She had a purple  heart and mother's milk in a plastic  cup
 Singing one's  to lay you gently  in the grave
 And one's  the flag you fold  before you go
 When the curtain  rose the crowd  was blown away
 While the lion  and the lamb kept fucking  in the back row
