How I love music so
Deep down in my soul
It seeps into my core
And leaves me wanting more
It breaks into my heart
Tears everything apart
And puts things back together
again
It truly is the nectar of men

Oh I love music so
So very much you know?
So I find it rather tragic
That this which brings me such great magic
Is the source of such great pain
- Allow me to explain
For as the tides cannot be without the moon
I haven't the talent to play a single tune
But I still love music so
