Cheryl Vs. Darryl

(album: Mustang - 2013)

It was a call to cast two actors for the rape scene
Two lovers from Butte Montana in faded jeans
Now pull your arms down around your ankles
And put your heart off to the side
Now you're diving into the ocean of waves you were never meant to ride

It's never the same
With cameras on
It's a violent game
With cameras on

They used to hold hands, Cheryl versus Darryl
They no longer hold hands, Cheryl versus Darryl
They used to hold hands, Cheryl versus Darryl
They no longer hold hands, Cheryl versus Darryl

Let me guide you into position and take you down
Love dissolves into ashes, finely ground
The noise of human relations, it goes sour
Love lines die by the hour
If you're looking to stay together throughout the years
It's helpful not to cry too many toxic tears

They used to hold hands, Cheryl versus Darryl
They no longer hold hands, Cheryl versus Darryl
They used to hold hands, Cheryl versus Darryl
They no longer hold hands, Cheryl versus Darryl
They used to hold hands, Cheryl versus Darryl
They no longer hold hands, Cheryl versus Darryl
They used to hold hands, Cheryl versus Darryl
