Eddie boy lit like paraffin 
spending two weeks
in a crack house
Burns on his brain 
like Chernobyl

Dean was seen 
with a two bag purchase
He was lying dead on his mother's bed
Someone for pray for-
till I met you

Life is like a broken arrow-
memory a swingin' door
I could be your great misfortune-
I can make you happy
every day of your life
Making my love 
like a shining star
takin' my love just a touch too far

Tessie turns tricks with a soul like ice 
cause love left holes
And four swell kids breaking her heart
I've got windows, I've seen much vice, 
I've touched down with vermin,
Cowardice, lice,
And I say

Nobody cares what you do-
please be yourself to death

I could be your great misfortune
But you'll never find a, bet you'll never find a better man.

Making my love 
like a shining star
Taking my love just a touch too far.

Peter met Frank 
formed a [bad word] gang
Worked heist or hit for 10 g's flat
Blew heads outta shape for the name of Trotsky, Sinn-
Fein, Hitler cashdown
No hope heroes cover the page 
with debts in [bad word] 
And fingers in blood
Poor little bodies all covered in scabs 
threw it all away
Another life in the grave
Another life in the grave

Life is like a broken arrow-
memory a swingin' door
I could be your great misfortune-
Well I could make you happy 
every [bad word] single day of your life

Making my love
like a shining star
Like a shining star
Baby that's what you are
Like a shining star

Making my love
like a shining star
Taking my love
Just a touch too far
