Taken from the 1997 album Chosen to be Frozen

lyrics

I met a new friend today
We like the same things, always have lots to say
And if I'm lucky, he'll take my lover away

We hit it off quite instantly
His words can stir something deep in me
And if I'm lucky, he'll take my lover away

A fiery birth in the icy cold and I know what this is for
These people seem so kind and friendly but by now I know the score
And each time I leave I take with me less than I had before

So come on, come on, come on, come on
Ruin everything forever
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Let a demon into heaven

It's a thankless task that usually befalls to me

I made a new friend today
There's warmth and wisdom in all he says
And if I'm lucky, he'll take my lover away

And he likes me but he's only human
He's everything that she thinks I should've been
So come on, take my lover away

I've used my lines and I've made my quips and now it's time to go
Mischievous thoughts will fill an idle mind and I should know
And the best things in life were all made quite some time ago

So come on, come on, come on, come on
Rampage through the empty home
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Shout vile curses down the phone
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Ruin everything forever
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Let a demon into heaven

It's a thankless task that usually befalls to me

It means I'll lose my lover and I'll lose my friend
But then I always do in the end
Sometimes you just have to be set free
