Squiggly Lines

If you had seen her you'd think it was funny
She was so passionate, made everything sunny
She was dancing all the time
Never spent a dime
Always feeling fine
Always an uphill climb
I thought i'd like to get to know her
I thought i'd like to get to go with her
But the darkness of the night
Blew out my candlelight
My head was full of fright
What a horrible tragedy plight
And when my ego was shattered
She said it didn't really matter
She said she's got her own (boyfriend?)
She said she didn't want one who was not sane
She said my love was down the drain
And she hated "songs of pain"
I went out to her house foaming at the mouth
She called me a dirty louse
I was crying all the time
Seeing the monkey shine
Talking to myself
Staring into tears
