| Lyrics: | Princess cards she sends me with her regards
barroom eyes shine vacancy, to see her you gotta
look hard
Wounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted
To her
Cheshire smile. I'll stand on file, she's all I ever wanted.
But you let your blue walls get in
the way of these facts
honey, get your carpetbaggers off my back
you wouldn't even give me
time to cover my tracks,
You said, "Here's your mirror and your ball and jacks." But they're not
what I came for, and I'm sure you see that too
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but you
did not need my urgency
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but your life was one long
emergency
and your cloud line urges me, and my electric surges free.
Crawl into my
ambulance, your pulse is getting weak,
reveal yourself all now to me girl while you've got the
strength to speak
Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue with their oxygen masks
But I
could give it all to you now if only you could ask.
And don't call for your surgeon even he says
it's too late
It's not your lungs this time, it's your heart that holds your fate
Don't give
me money, honey, I don't want it back
you and your pony face and your union jack
well take
your local joker and teach him how to act
I swear I was never that way even when I really
cracked
Didn't you think I knew that you were born with the power of a locomotive
able to
leap tall buildings in a single bound ?
And your Chelsea suicide with no apparent motive
you
could laugh and cry in a single sound.
And your strength is devastating in the face of all
these odds
Remember how I kept you waiting when it was my turn to be the god ?
You were
not quite half so proud when I found you broken on the beach- |
