Extreme Cupid's Dead Lyrics

-you read the papers today?-

I read the news today oh boy,
About a tragic comedy
Newspaper hinted suicide,
The letterhead read Dear Johnny
A tainted truth was all it said,
Sleep tight now that you've made your bed
An arrow that once pierced your heart
Points to the apple on your head

Bridge:
Three sides to every story
Yours, mine, and Monday morning's

Chorus:
CUPID'S DEAD, HEADLINES READ,
CUPID'S DEAD
CUPID'S DEAD, HEADLINES READ,
CUPID'S DEAD

Oh, Romeo, Oh, Romeo
Where did our love go, Romeo?
If you read between the headlines,
You wouldn't be the last to know
No mystery yet to unfold,
A paperboy left in the cold
A love was said to never die,
Withered away and just got old

(Repeat Bridge & Chorus)

"Our top story tonight is a crime of passion
The victim, an unidentified man is found in bed,
wearing only a diaper holding a bow an arrow in one hand,
and clutching a letter in the other.
The letter simply read ... CUPID'S DEAD."

Extra, extra, extra, read all about it

[Instrumental break]

CUPID'S DEAD

Cupid is dead, deceased
I got peace of mind
Still it's hard to forget
what it leaves behind
A lot of love lost
your feelings are wasted
tasted the sweetness
but now you're faced with
the thought, of being alone
Nor more companionship
you can handle it
just abandon it
leave it behind
and look for the brighter day
Give it some time
cause it won't come right away
You gotta be standing strong
hold on to your dignity
Don't sit around
saying look what ya did to me
It's time to move on
you gotta continue
to look for a love
of a life that's within you
Cupid is dead now
it's time to rely on
yourself to cope
You got no shoulder to cry on
DEAD
