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
