About the Artist
Lyrics
When the arrogant goddess of love came to steal my shoes She had a white hot pistol and a homemade heart tattoo Singin', "one's to give and one's to take away, But neither of them will keep you off your knees" The children bowed and bolted off the stage While the lion and the lamb kept fighting for the shake-tree When the winsome god of war came to set me free He had a couple of Coke bottles full of gasoline Singing, "all I love is all that I allow" And be blew me a kiss off his big burned hand I nearly choked with smoke and fell down While the lion and the lamb kept shooting at a tin can When the gunshy goddess of love came back to patch things up She had a purple heart and mother's milk in a plastic cup Singing, "one's to lay you gently in the grave, And one's to flag you full before you go" The curtain rose, crowd was blown away While the lion and the lamb kept fucking in the back row
