Soulwax - My Cruel Joke lyrics

rate me

I used to think cupid was a real jerk

A child star -tormented

A faded star of yesterday now toothless and jaded

He shoots his arrows wildely with bottles

Scattered across the sky - he trips on clouds

With a face like Keith Richards

I am your voice what you propose

I am your voice your vow to be

Whatever you do I'll agree

Please forgive me my cruel joke

I'm everywhere - partial and entire

I'm on the inside of everything

And on the outside

I'm trembling like a man away from home

But I can't speak my heart

In case they hear me

Now, no one will listen to our song

I am your voice what you propose

I am your voice your vow to be

Whatever you do I'll agree

Please forgive me my cruel joke

I used to think cupid was an asshole

The lonliest soul in the universe

And as the wrinkled birdman approached me

I could smell his smouldering cigarette breath

And he looked at me out the corner of his head and he spoke

So, you ask me why no one stays together anymore

You're never around when I need you

You're never around when I need you
