Ghost; Cupid's Dead Lyrics - Take Us Alive: Boston 2009 - Extreme

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 

Three sides to every story 

Yours, mine, and Monday morning's 

Cupid's dead, headlines read 

Cupid's dead, oh, no, no 

Cupid's dead, headlines read 

Cupid's dead, oh, no, no 

Papers here! 

Get your papers here! 

Extra! 

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 

Three sides to every story 

Yours, mine, and Monday morning's 

Cupid's dead, headlines read 

Cupid's dead, oh, no, no 

Cupid's dead, headlines read 

Cupid's dead, oh, no, no 

"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, extra 

read all about it 

(SOLO) 

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, no 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
