He said "the secret of life is in art"
As he called me his affectionate friend
But I just wanted to be his cigar
And taste where his words begin
Now I know why dictators kill poets first
Cause he started a war in me and bullets cannot reverse
Call it love
In the stall of a bathroom baby
Call it love
At the Holiday Inn by the highway
He said that "each man must kill the thing he loves"
But I argue that we love kills us
You just have to like what you turn into
Find someone who will burn with you
And if you're lucky, you die many times
Before you ever really do
Call it love
Send him a nude on my lunch break, baby
Call it love
He don't reply and I think that he hates me, yeah
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
I guess Jesus had Judas till it killed him with kiss
I guess grandpa has grandma forever til he didn't
I guess Oscar had Bosie til it sent him to prison
And I guess I have you
And that's my decision
Call it love
Maybe one day it's gonna kill me
Call it love
Maybe one day it's gonna heal me
Oh it might just Achilles heal me, yeah
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
