#VERSE
Margo Mantis doesn’t pray
She’s just a beach-loving bug on holiday
Friends joke, “Go bite the head off a man”
Margo shakes her head—says, “Not my plan”
She relaxes alone on a striped chaise lounge
Sips a cool drink as the sun drops down
A question bubbles in her brain, laughably intense:
“Which is better, deep thoughts, or blissful ignorance?”
#CHORUS
(Magic Margo Mantis)
Sunshine’s philosopher
(Magic Margo Mantis)
The thoughts just come to her
Ponders life and pink lemonade
Plants a plotline that germinates
The world’s top romance novelist

#VERSE
Characters that she creates
Have inner souls they hide in crates
Locked away, the world can’t see
Margo thinks, “Well, they’re a lot like me”
Her stories of romance tangle and twist
“It’s magical, emotional” the critics insist
Yes, Margo writes of love so pure
But in real life, love has not found her
#CHORUS
(Magic Margo Mantis)
Sunshine’s philosopher
(Magic Margo Mantis)
Love’s just a science class for her
Knows readers want relationships with hope
Dissects love under a microscope
The world’s top romance novelist
(Magic Margo Mantis)
#BRIDGE
“How can it be,” she wonders
“That I can’t comprehend
The blissful ignorance that beams
When mantis mamas bite heads off men?”
She’s happy with her deeper thoughts
Ponders love—can’t understand it
Just writes her tangled tales of romance
Like watching the show from some other planet
#INSTRUMENTAL
#VERSE
A server brings another drink
Margo thanks him, begins to think
“Perhaps I’m trapped in my own mind
A mantis among humankind
Perhaps I’ve never felt real love
The humans do; I’m just a bug”
#CHORUS
(Magic Margo Mantis)
Sunshine’s philosopher
(Magic Margo Mantis)
Her spinning thoughts become a blur
Sips her second lemonade
Feels a new story germinate
The world’s top romance novelist
(Magic Margo Mantis)
#OUTRO
The world’s top romance novelist
(Magic Margo Mantis)
The queen of passion who’s never been kissed
