Cupid's Dead

(Have 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 made your bed.
An arrow that onced pierced my heart points to the apple on your head.

III sides to every story:
"Yours, Mine and Monday Mornings"

Cupid's Dead. Headlines read 'Cupid's Dead'

(Papers here. Get your papers here!
Extra. 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.

III sides to every story:
"Yours, Mine and Monday Mornings"

Cupid's Dead. Headlines read 'Cupid's Dead'

(Our top story tonight is a crime of passion.
The victim: an unidentified man was found in bed wearing only a diaper.
Holding a bow and arrow in one hand, and clutching a letter in the other.
The letter simply read: 'Cupid's Dead')

Cupid's Dead

"Cupid is dead, deceased, I got a piece 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, cuz it won't come right away. You gotta be standing strong. Hold on to your dignity.
Don't sit around saying "Look what you did to me!". It's time to move on. You gotta continue to look for the love of a life that's within you.
Cupid is dead now. It's time to rely on yourself to cope.
You've got no shoulder to cry on"

DEAD!
