Cupid's Got A Brand New Gun Lyrics - Singles - Michael Penn

It's hiding in the corner 

of every sacred place 

before the ambush you won't want to 

recognize its face 

It slithers like a viper 

readies its attack 

tears your flesh and soul apart 

then clings on to your back 

But not till it turns away 

can you feel the pain of all the damage done 

and you may notice that 

this quick opiate 

might wear the wings of angels 

that's when you realize 

you've been shot down 

wounded unto death by something called love 

It followed you to hell, Ange 

a double agentwho 

will listen your every lie 

but never tell on you 

(just whisper to you true) 

It promises you silk things 

but burns the clothes you wear 

gives you leave in heaven 

and you scream that it's unfair 

to force you to compare 

But not till it turns away 

can you feel the pain of all the damage done 

and you may notice that 

this quick opiate 

might wear the wings of angels 

that's when you realize 

you've been shot down 

wounded unto death by something called love...
