Big Burned Hand

When the arrogant goddess of love came to steal my shoes

She had a white-hot pistol and a homemade heart tattoo

Singing, "One's to give and one's to take away

But neither of them will keep you off your knees."

The children bowed and bolted off the stage

While the lion and the lamb kept fighting for the shade tree

When the winsome god of war came to set me free

He had a couple of Coke bottles full of gasoline

Singing, "All I love is all that I allow."

He blew me a kiss off a big burned hand

Nearly choked with smoke and fell down

While the lion and the lamb kept shooting at a tin can

When the gun-shy goddess of love came back to patch things up

She had a Purple Heart and mother's milk in a plastic cup

Singing, "One's to lay you gently in the grave

And one's to flag you fold before you go."

When the curtain rose the crowd was blown away

While the lion and the lamb kept fucking in the back row
