Cupid's Empty Psychic Promise

Cupid don't come around me

He's lost his arrows
and he's late for his appointment
should have been here
years ago

His wings are tainted
clipped and broken
and when he sees me
he leaves me hoping
but he finds somewhere else to play

Another empty psychic promise
made today
another lonely day to parade around
another heartache soft and sound

Cupid don't come around me no more

He's lost his direction
and is flying circles above my head
shooting arrows, finding random marks
Everybode ELSE is in love
Everybody ELSE taste the salt of a kiss
all i have is the bitterness of the solitude
of the stale air of bitterness

Cupid don't come around me no more

He's drunk on love
and his memories a blur
can't remember who he's stuck
and whose got what temper
he's got a blindfold over his eyes
shoots his poison of love
at a heartfelt nation of passion
who is soo shallow
and everyone falls head over feet
and that's the reaction
but for some reason
no one ever falls for me

Just the stale air of the loneliness
of this bitter solitude

Cupid i think you forgot me

You're soo rude
