Together we probed mysteries of the dark Though you said true love was for losers and saps (Oh God how I loved you, my Joan Jett of Arc.) You moaned like a ****** those nights in the park As I tried to snare you with all of love’s traps. Together we probed mysteries of the dark. I was a way station, no more than a lark, Though I searched your eyes for a trace of perhaps. (Oh God how I loved you, my Joan Jett of Arc.) I sought to engender romance’s first spark In the wake of unfettered zippers and snaps. Together we probed mysteries of the dark Our orbit of something completed its arc; I sang Ave Maria, you whistled Taps. (Oh God how I loved you, my Joan Jett of Arc.) One morning the truth hit—cold, brutal and stark; You’d left unannounced, leaving me to collapse. Together we probed mysteries of the dark (Oh God how I loved you, my Joan Jett of Arc.)

My Joan Jett Of Arc
Together we probed mysteries of the dark Though you said true love was for losers and saps (Oh God how I loved you, my Joan Jett of Arc.) You moaned like a ****** those nights in the park As I tried to snare you with all of love’s traps. Together we probed mysteries of the dark. I was a way station, no more than a lark, Though I searched your eyes for a trace of perhaps. (Oh God how I loved you, my Joan Jett of Arc.) I sought to engender romance’s first spark In the wake of unfettered zippers and snaps. Together we probed mysteries of the dark Our orbit of something completed its arc; I sang Ave Maria, you whistled Taps. (Oh God how I loved you, my Joan Jett of Arc.) One morning the truth hit—cold, brutal and stark; You’d left unannounced, leaving me to collapse. Together we probed mysteries of the dark (Oh God how I loved you, my Joan Jett of Arc.)
With apologies to Clem Snide...well, not to mention pretty much everyone else, truth be told.
