A Painting By Hieronymus Bosch

"A Painting by Hieronymus Bosch"

I met this European girl and we got lost
In a painting by Hieronymus Bosch
Drank something green and evil down in Prague
Hopped that Eastern European midnight train and we got robbed

Her eyes were closing like a solar eclipse
I drifted off with her sucking on my lips
I felt the sting of the Communist wind on my cheek
As the blood came rushing in

And I went out to the party
To go and have some fun
When I saw her there I knew
She was the One
She don't want my love
She just likes to make it
She don't want my heart
She just wants to break it

I tried to be romantic and bought a diamond ring
But a diamond ring from me didn't mean a thing
She don't want my love she just likes to fake it
She don't want my heart she just wants to break it

Papa was a rolling stone
Mama said he could never leave that stuff alone
He had to go and go and chase the wind
And the time that we won't get back again
My friend

We went out to the movies
And fell into a scene
The one where it all goes to a nightmare from a dream
She don't want no love she just likes to chase it
She don't want my heart she just wants to break it

I sink into the evening fading like the sun when the lights come up and the curtain falls and the honeymoon in done

She don't want no love
She just likes to chase it
She don't want my heart she just likes to break it

And I waited for months on end, I swore it was meant to be
I tried again and again to get that girl to see
Surely there was nothing I could do to mean enough to her
Surely there was nothing I could do to mean enough to her
She don’t want no love
She just likes to make it
She don’t want my heart
She just wants to break it

And I gave her my love
I watched her waste it
But she left her mark on me
And I can't erase it
She don't want my love
I can face it
She don't want my heart she just wants to break it
