In walks the villain of this tale

The door closing silent behind you

I smile and I offer you something to drink

In the hopes that a taste will remind you

That poison goes better with grenadine

That deceit's always lovely with lime

That bitterness can be so sweet 

When it's served in the right place and at the right time

And we'll toast to a lifetime of happiness

And we'll catch up on mutual friends

Yes we'll laugh with good cheer and not mention that we're 

Just a means to each of our ends

And by midnight you'll be so convinced

That all of our time apart was some mistake

That I'll sigh and I'll stand and I'll hold out my hand

Once more for your memory's sake



I'll hold you my love and never let go

I'll hold you my love and I'll never tire

I'll hold you my love by the throat

I'll hold you my love over the fire

So breathe with me, love; only love will work now

Hold onto my love like it was stolen

I'll burn with your love like I was Birkenau

I'll conquer your love like you were Poland

I'll act on my love like Pontius Pilate

I'll give you my love like I was Brutus

I'll radiate love like Three Mile Island

I'll prove you my love like I was Judas
