Every sunrise finds her in a new town
There's some kind of Armageddon going down
She's professionally friendly
She's got everything to lose
And she can't wait till the red line takes her there.

She said "No more love songs, please"
And she got up off her knees
And she grabbed her coat and just walked out the door
And the soup kitchen was humming
And the men with tired eyes
Watched her giving her last dollar to a child
She said "No more love songs."

Next morning, she's on the road by daylight
Looking for a sanctuary to save her life
She's got a bone to pick
Religion makes her sick
Something dies when you give your faith a name.

She said "No more love songs, please"
And she got up off her knees
And she grabbed her coat and just walked out the door
And the crucifix was silent
And the room was full of light
But it was dead, and she was so alive
She said "No more love songs."

Two years, and she's scraping at the walls
Nobody told her just what comes before a fall
She's living off of handouts
And the kindness of a friend
He only wants a little in return
But one day's one day too many
And her eyes begin to burn.

She said "No more love songs, please"
And she got up off her knees
And she grabbed her coat and just walked out the door
And they say that she's still out there
That's what I'd like to believe
Life kills you, but I know she's still alive
She sings no more love songs.
