Love Those Tears

Then I saw her crying
    And this smile grew across my face
I've walked among the outcasts
   Stil, though tuled out, I reign as king

Upon other reasons for my joy
Her tears brought something more
A deeper feeling
A stronger feeling...

Her face turned blotchy red
   As she hides in her hands I knew it
I've cleaned my tables and
   Still, though ruled out, I reign as king

Like a drug
It's short-lived
But the effects are everlasting
Though the smile's gone
The image of her pain
Loves my mind
And is to remainas the most favorable
