lyrics

fell into the arms of joy
it happened with your first kiss
i was overcome drowned three times down
i certainly am enjoying this
fell into cleopatra's lair
she was well endowed with lots of hair
she said "did you ever learn how to love 'em and leave 'em"
i was trying to remember her last victim

rebel rogue and infidel
Son of man and son of hell
bundle of lies and contradictions
bad intentions skewed predilections
i put my head into the noose
looking and feeling my best
when will the bottom drop
well it's anybody's guess

fell into a life of crime
and a life of misspent youth
people became my enemies
or just something else to use
and all the friends i know
they're just dying to be living
a lot of apologies need to be spoken
now a lot of sins need to be forgiven

well i fell into the arms of hate
she put a big second helping on my plate
led me blind into her house
and french kissed me on her couch
fell into cleopatra's lair
she's still well endowed with lots of hair
she said "did you ever learn how to love 'em and leave 'em"
well i finally remembered her last victim
