NOTE: The title of the song was translated incorrectly as 'Atroqinine, My Love' when it went from German to English. Not me mixing it up. No sir.
(besides, it's more fun to rhyme with 'atroquinine' than 'love')

[spoken]
Now, a certain girlfriend of a member of the band, to remain unnamed, was always asking for a song to be written in her honor. Well, she's an ex-girlfriend now but we felt we should still sing her song for you here tonight.
[guitar strumming]
Some boys have their Cuddlebears
They have their Kittens too
Sugars and Honeys are all so sweet
Maybe even a crazy Kazoo
[sung, as the music kicks in]
Oh, but baby, they're not you
Oh darling, they're just not you
Like a girl in a magazine
Long and lean
Hair dark brown
And eyes wintergreen
Sitting on your throne
Like a Byzantine queen
My baby, my darling, my love
Atroquinine
When I met you in the street
You took my breath away
I wooed you, I won you
And now I've gotta pay
Anything, baby
Whatever you say
You'll leave me tomorrow
And come back today
Like a demon all in green
Beautiful and mean
Lips painted red
And skin velveteen
You hide your iv'ry fangs
Venom serpentine
My poison, my viper, my love
Atroquinine
[music dies down, back to strumming guitar]
You seemed fair and pretty
As an angel without wings
But now I know the truth
Your bite really stings
[music surges]
We're done with this game
How's this for a pet name
You're killing me like chlorine
I think I need some morphine
Just take me to the guillotine
My poison
My darling
My love
Atroquinine

*conspiring whisper* Her name is Angeline Wing. I'm not entirely sure which member of the band she was dating. But it's not the drummer because his girlfriend's pet name is Kazoo. I don't know when my brain decided that but it was decided and without my consent. She probably calls him Bongo.
