The Grand Destruction Game

I made eyes with a sailor with a burned-up hand
The cross-eyed singer of a bad boy band
I loved an elegant gangster and a customs man
But then I fell for him and that was the end
He was gold-plated sparrow, he was chosen one
He was Sandinista and my royal bomb
He was my used car salesman and my wayward son
And then I fell for him and that was the end
In the morning, you may wake to find that I'm gone
Sad to go, but you know I need to stumble on
In time, with the passing of the days, you'll forget my name
It's strange, I know the way some people play, but I'm just the same

And then he fell for me and then it was the end
In the morning, I may wake to find that he's gone
Sad and lonely, but I know he too must stumble on
In time, with the passing of the days, I may forget his name
It's strange, you know the way some people play, but he's just the same
