To Break Each Others Heart
Jim Phillips

Jamie commanded his life like an army
Just marching for miles through the snow
From up in the mountains where noone could find him
He spied on the enemy below
Then Maryann crept to his camp after dark
And said, "Surrender, I'll take you where it's warm
By the time he discovered her treasonous heart
He'd disgraced his uniform
Now the story has a moral
Which I will now impart
We're placed into this world so we can break eachothers hearts
Jean was an actress who starred in a play
About a wild women kept in a cage
Kevin jumped up from his seat in the dark And cried,
"Get her down off thyat stage."
She learned all the angles that made up his face
And read the tipe in womens magazines
He broke it off in apublic place
So she wouldn't cause a scene
Now you can talk about your science
Or the beauty of your art
But the highest human calling is
To break anothers heart
Eric kept his hunger like an acid in ajar
To swirl around and hold up to the light
Amy shook with anger she didn't know what for
They fell in love on April fools Day night
But when their midnight language burned up with the sun
They tried to find some words they both had lost
I undrstand that they still correspond
I hear their paths occasionally cross
See how they glide together
See how they fly apart
Each one placed into this world
To break somebody's heart
I'll be Simone de Beavoir, honey and you be Jean Paul Sartre
We'll write a million words on how
We broke each other's hearts
