lyrics

Loving more begets more love, or so the poster says,
But one man’s more is someone else’s less
Emotional complexities, supposedly enshrined
Boiled down to a tacky valentine

Mind the caution tape, as you stand agape
Caution tape ran out, before you taped your mouth
A wise man would have walked, but you just had to talk

A sit-com documentary, a couple on a screen
Giving love a mindless happy sheen
Simplified to platitudes, you’re in the starring role,
A farce of nature scores a worthless goal

Mind the caution tape, as you stand agape
Caution tape ran out, before you taped your mouth
A wise man would have walked, but you just had to talk

Love finds its niche upon hats, t-shits, and ties
A cloying commodity, that’s sold out of your size

Interrogated on the spot, an audience of friends,
It seemed the fireworks would never end

Mind the caution tape, as you stand agape
Caution tape ran out, before you taped your mouth
A wise man would have walked, but you just had to talk

Get behind the caution tape,
You said your bit, there’s no escape,
You broke it when you went for make-or-break
