True Love

In walks the villain of this tale
The door closing silent behind you
I smile and I offer you something to drink
In the hopes that a taste will remind you

That poison goes better with grenadine
That deceit's always lovely with lime
That bitterness can be so sweet when it's served
In the right place and at the right time

And we'll toast to a lifetime of happiness
And we'll catch up on mutual friends
And we'll laugh with good cheer and not mention that we're
Just a means to each of our ends

And by midnight you'll be so convinced
That all of our time apart was some mistake
Then I'll sigh and I'll stand and I'll hold out my hand
Once more for your memory's sake

I'll hold you, my love, and never let go
I'll hold you, my love, and I'll never tire
I'll hold you, my love, by the throat
I'll hold you, my love, over the fire

So breathe with me, love, only love will work now
Hold onto my love like it was stolen
I'll burn with your love like I was Birkenau
I'll conquer your love like you were Poland

I'll act on my love like Pontius Pilate
I'll give you my love like I was Brutus
I'll radiate love like Three Mile Island
I'll prove you my love like I was Judas
