Vermillion Lies Monkey
love is an organ grinder's monkey
on a three day bender behind the wheel of a truck
he's driving down the road with no shirt on and he's
flipping you the finger
he's got a bottle full of bloody guts and a shotgun full
of stardust
and love will shoot you down
love's no pretty thing, no starry eyes
love won't hold your hand or tuck you in for the night
love will swallow you whole and pick his teeth with your
bones
and when he's done he'll spit you out and leave you to
clean the mess that he's made of your heart
and love will shoot you down
and in the dark and in the light and when the moment's
feeling right
you'll see the sounds and hear the sights and you'll be
love's monkey in no time
he'll shoot you down
oh you stupid little monkey
love shot you down
