Gunning Down Romance

                                  Love and other moments 

Are just chemical reactions in your brain 

And feelings of aggression 

Are the absence of the love drug in your viens 



In your veins 

Love come quickly 

Because I feel my self esteem is caving in 

It's on the brink 



Love come quickly 

Because I don't think I can keep this monster in 

It's in my skin 



Love and other socially acceptable emotions are morphine 

They're morphine 

Cleverly concealing primal urges often felt but rarely seen 

Rarely seen 



Love I beg you 

Lift me up into that privileged point of view 

The world of two 

Love don't leave me 



Because I console myself that 

Hallmark cards are true 

I really do 



I'm gunning down romance 

It never did a thing for me 

But heartache and misery 

Ain't nothing but a tragedy 



Love don't leave me 



Take these broken wings 

I'm going to take these broken wings 

And learn to fly 

And learn to fly away 

And learn to fly away 



I'm gunning down romance
