The Story Of Cupid

Story of Billy the fast paced cowboy living the high life in the city
he made lots of promises to the city cowgirls
made himself look good and pretty
underneath his moose hide was an evil looking scar
gotten cut up real bad in a California bar
and he told his lies back in that southwestern town
now he was on the prowl again

(Chorus)
Because Cupid was a millionaire a roving gambler
Cupid was the winner of the archery prize
Cupid climbed the mountains and seen the angels
Cupid met Dalai Lama all told with liars eyes

There was no tale too tall or short he could tell
He'd keep you on your seat and then he'd wish you well
Before you knew it he was in your heart to stay
something enchanting would just take your breath away

(Chorus)

He knew he could live with you for a couple of years or more
suck away your money while your friends watched you turn poor
And your head turned into mush and all your dreams turned around
and hop that train to that next sad lonesome town

(Chorus)

Billy got lonesome looking to find some reason
In a life that was too frozen and too old to bend
He'd seen his ramblings all turn against him
there was no more lust he could live
so he left a lady and he went down searching again
this time for true love a keeper and a friend
and all time he looked it seemed there was no end
to the anger and vehemence he was shown
by the beautiful eyes he swore he'd never own

(Chorus)

In his heart inside him there was a glimmer of hope
A glimmer of hope and things to be
And everywhere he'd turn the cold shoulders
of cruelty and insensitivity
every day he dreamed of someone he could treat right
Then a late night he swore he saw the light
There it was as his reflection in a bottle
He said if no one around here is gonna love me
I'll just have to leave these supermodels be

(Chorus)
