1.  I guess the problem started with Aphrodite.
This Venus was the Goddess of Love.
She was jealous of the beauty of Psyche
And told her son to make Psyche fall 
for the ugliest man in the world.

But Psyche charmed him, she disarmed him
Their passion was insane.  
Now they�ve got a love vendetta and no one is safe.

*Cupid�s throwing daggers.  (Cupid�s throwing daggers.)
This must be love�s tastiest revenge.
Cupid�s throwing daggers. (Cupid's throwing daggers.)
He�s not gonna stop until we�re all in love like him.

2.  So Psyche had to prove that she was worthy.
For once, it�s true her boyfriend was a God.
She passed the test, but still her beau was worried
�Cause Oedipus said he wanted to date 
Cupid�s mom.  Cupid�s mom?

She said, �Take my hand and follow me.
Let down your guard.
It only hurts when you try to take 
the arrow from your heart."

*Cupid�s throwing daggers.  (Cupid�s throwing daggers.)
This must be love�s tastiest revenge.
Cupid�s throwing daggers.  
You can hide but it don�t matter.
He�s not gonna stop until we�re all in love like him.

(Guitar sliding and grooving solo with some hyper-spaz vocalizations.)

Lyrically, I had just read C.S. Lewis' retelling of the Cupid and Psyche legend called "Til We Have Faces." Great book. Fantastic author. ("The Great Divorce" is one of my all time favorites.) So, the lyric idea came from mixing around the legend and how I thought of the hysterical image of a ticked off little Cherub hucking daggers of love at people screaming, "Dang it! I fell in love, so EVERYONE'S gonna be in love! WHAM!" A cynical romantic...if that's possible.
