"You are my sweetest downfall

I loved you first, I loved you first

Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth

I have to go, I have to go

Your hair was long when we first met

 

Samson went back to bed

Not much hair left on his head

He ate a slice of Wonder bread, and went right back to bed

And history books forgot about us and the Bible didn't mention us

And the Bible didn't mention us, not even once

 

You are my sweetest downfall

I loved you first, I loved you first

Beneath the stars came falling on our heads

But they're just old light, they're just old light

Your hair was long when we first met

 

Samson came to my bed

Told me that my hair was red

Told me I was beautiful, and came into my bed

Oh, I cut his hair myself one night

A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light

And he told me that I'd done alright

And kissed me 'til the morning light, the morning light

And he kissed me 'til the morning light

 

Samson went back to bed

Not much hair left on his head

He ate a slice of Wonder bread, and went right back to bed

Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down

Yeah, we couldn't destroy a single one

And history books forgot about us

And the Bible didn't mention us, not even once...."
