[Verse 1]
Love is like a gold brick in a Bunco game
Just like a banknote with a bogus name
Both have caused many a downfall, love has done the same
[Verse 2]
Love has for its emblem Cupid with his bow
Loveless love has piles and piles of dough
So keep lots of Jack and you can pick 'em as you go
[Chorus 1]
Love, oh love, oh loveless love
Has set our hearts on goalless goals
Silkless silk and milkless milk
We are growing used to soulless souls
Such cheats and haste we never saw
That's why we have a pure food law
In everything, I see a flaw
Even love, oh love, oh loveless love
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus 2]
An S.O.S. by wireless wire
And in the wreckage of desire
We sigh for wings just like Noah's dove
So we can fly away from loveless love
