Have a friend, calls me up Says hello, then hangs up He must have read my mind These are the days of a different paradigm Maybe once, even twice He said "God does not play dice" Yet if he's everywhere He's in casinos with aces to spare Oh, Love is God's mistake Oh, Love is God's mistake Ours is not to reason why As we fall from way up high Into the water Like a lamb to the slaughter Even now, God's mistake Sets us up for one more heartbreak God you look mighty fine Dressed as the devil in a cosmic pantomime Oh, Love is God's mistake Oh, Love is God's mistake Never was so much at stake Oh, Love is God's mistake
