lyrics

this is the story, of the boy and girls
time to test the waters, its time to nest in the world

and this is the tale, of free love for sale
warm bed of flowers and a cold bed of nails

tears will be spilt and cards will be dealt
and love is like icarus, waiting to melt

if you take someones heart,
you can break someones heart
you can make someone start all over again

but this time for revenge, they want to get out what they put in
theyre not about to make amends and love is like icarus
on his descend

theyre comes a time in everyones life
when they reach fr the sun and take flight
but little do they know that theyre fun will be theyre plight
and gravity will be the bullet that they bite

this is the ballad, of the lovers ballet
the heart is an all that you can eat buffet

it left in a rendezvous but it came here in vallet
it twas a perfect get away twas a game of russian roulette

this is the adventure that the lovers endure,
the heart the indentured and you the entrepreneur

love is the venture, its what you explore,
so come on and enter but shut the door

and if you think that you can fix it
maybe work on the knicks in it
but baby go ahead and crucify it

because this time its pretend, and its fr themselves that they fin
and they commit un original sin, and bygones are bygones not friends
and love is like icarus when nobody wins

and nobody lied about the magic carpet ride
in fact some fall off to meet theyre suicides
so dont act suprized when you two must decide
you know the old saying, you can run but you cant hide

love is like icarus yes love is like icarus ohh love is like icarus
and so, let the story begin
