Loveless Love

Love is a like a gold brick in a Bunco game
Like a banknote with a bogus name
Both have caused many downfalls
Love has done the same
Love has for its emblem Cupid with his bow
Loveless love has, lots and lots, of dough
So carry lots of jack
And pick ‘em as you go
Oh love, oh love, oh loveless love
Has set our hearts on goalless goals
From silkless silk and milkless milk
We all growing used to soulless souls
Love is like a hydrant, it turns off and on
Like some friendships when your money’s gone
Love stands in with the loan sharks
When your heart has gone
Oh love, oh love, oh loveless love
You set our hearts on goalless goals
With dreamless dreams and schemeless schemes
We wreck our love boats on the shores
We S.O.S by wireless wire
And in the wreckage of desire
We sigh for wings like Noah’s dove
Just to fly away from loveless love
If I were a little bird
I’d fly from tree to tree
I’d build my nest way up in the air
Where the bad boys wouldn’t bother me
It I had some strong wings like an aeroplane
Had some broad wings like an aeroplane
I would fly away forever
Never to return again
