lyrics

Dear Samson, I should have warned you in advance
Hey Samson, you just never had a chance
After all is said and done, you may think that I don't mean it
It's been a long time coming, I really wish you'd seen it

He gambled his life and he lost it to you
He gambled his love and he lost it, it's true

Dear Samson, you were in trouble from the start
Hey Samson, sorry I went and broke your heart
It wasn't all my fault, it was just society
But if you want, just go ahead and blame it all on me

You know you broke his heart and left his life a mess
Just what you're capable of is anybody's guess

Dear Samson, I should've let you run away
Hey Samson, too bad you had to go and stay
I would've let you go if you wanted to
But I know you wouldn't believe if I'd told you we were through

He gambled his life and he lost it to you
He gambled his love and he lost it, it's true

Dear Samson, I should have warned you in advance
Hey Samson, you just never had a chance
After all is said and done, you may think that I don't mean it
It's been a long time coming, I really wish you'd seen it

Dear Samson, I sit alone without a friend
Hey Samson, if I could do it all again

Love In The Dark

Aunt Vicki are (sounds like it should be "is", but "are", on account of there's two of them) really hip and cool! One is loud and delivers your mail, the other is left handed and makes clothes! The Vermeers

Traverse the Great Lakes State via songs of heartbreak an' such! Led by a doctor/professor/reverend who wears fancy cowboy shirts—they aren't afraid to drop eff bombs on stage at 3pm! The Vermeers
