From the recording Nostradamus Famous Cherry Jam
Lyrics
She thinks I’m with her for them baby blue eyes
She likes to party and she’s up for anything
And she takes care of me, unless I’m too far out to sea Don’t need a prophet to know how this story ends
Romeo and Juliet called it quits after a year
And love bit Cleopatra in the asp
Passion is a tempting grift but passion is not infinite You won’t get burned if you keep your options clear
Playing the field ain’t committing no crime I may be lonely but l have a good time
I’m only here for the breakup
I get off on the pain and optimism
Of meeting someone that’s much better than you The unexamined life isn’t wasted
When your all about the journey
You don’t need a destination
My sister said I that was hurt when I was young
Cause sociopaths aren’t born, they are made
My conscience got the best of me, I did two years of therapy I pulled a clockwork orange and now I’m sane
That’s when I met the lovely Emilia Monroe We didn’t party, just talked on end for days It was a different kind of beautiful
She worked in pharmaceuticals
For the first time I was in love and it was great.
Pawned my guitar to pay for our wedding day
But she just laughed as she was walking away, she said
I’m only here for the breakup
I get off on the pain and optimism
Of meeting someone that’s much better than you The unexamined life isn’t wasted
When your all about the journey
You don’t need a destination
Some just desserts can be good for your soul Who really needs that Ms Emilia Monroe Ta-ta!
We’re only here for the breakups
We get off on the pain and the optimism
We toss off the love when it’s right there for you You gotta savor life or it’s wasted
Enjoy the journey, but you need a destination
We’re only here for the breakups..
