LOVE SONGS NOW MAKE SENSE

that lonely unstrung singer

with a pang that carves the heart

would caterwaul catastrophe

and dare to call it art
.

i listened to these simpletons

and sadly shook my head

and could not see the labyrinth

where that soul's mind was led
.

my hardened heart refused to budge

it sat upon a fence

but now i sit in wonder

for these love songs now make sense
.

my heart was made for pumping

just an anatomic tool

and i believed saint valentine

to be a common fool
.

i had no use for women

who would try to pin you down

and turn that sexy cocktail dress

into a wedding gown
.

my head was thinking clearly

as my heart remained quite dense

but now it's educated

for these love songs now make sense
.

i was a happy bachelor

i lived a care free life

without that monkey on my back

that some men call a wife
.

i reeled in my emotions

kept them life upon a shelf

the only one i loved

was that poor soul i called myself
.

my rusty suit of armor

was my main line of defense

but i stand quite naked

for these love songs now make sense
