I once loved a boy
But he went away, went away
How can you say you love someone
And then just go away, go away
Across the world, the universe
That is the distance, that he took
To escape this melody
Of first lovers’ disharmony
Then I learned to love a girl
And she flew away, flew away
Saw her bloom to womanhood
But she flew away, flew away
Said "life’s a lie and so am I"
Then she tried to fly into the sky
Circuits fried, a broken neck
Dying in a pool of red
Years go by, I meet a man
But he got blown away, blown away
A backstage kiss, a dirty chance
They blew him away, him away
Just one wrong word
Shots ring out
He’s fading, while they scream and shout
Pigs show up, say just go home
And ever since, I’ve slept alone
It’s now whores for me
Maybe the odd groupie
And it’ll never be the same
But I’ll never love that way again
