Pardon me, sugar, I'm the man underneath your thumb
ย
But I won't take your balance and I won't chew your bubblegum
ย
White heat, indiscreet, any day now obsolete
ย
Know you've seen your best days
I will still walk down your empty street
ย
Well, you look like salvation but you taste like a refugee
ย
Well, you say you've got no soul but you look like you do to me
If I was the melody, you were the symphony
Honey, loving you took the very best of me
I don't need your red wine covered sympathy
Just another punchline in your stand up tragedy
ย
Well, I've been pushing up daisies
Just to catch a glimpse of something real
ย
When I see you coming, I might just as well give up and kneel
ย
Well, if you saw me broken, won't you put me out my misery?
ย
Well, I don't do handsome and you don't do sympathy
If I was the melody, you were the symphony
Honey, loving you took the very best of me
I don't need your red wine covered sympathy
Just another punchline in your stand up tragedy
Wrong from the get go
Let it slide
Tell me what they don't know
Sing them praises far and wide
Give those speeches
Ring them bells
Mama don't know what she preaches
But she sure looks dignified
Well, she sure looks dignified
Well, she sure looks dignified
If I was the melody, you were the symphony
Honey, loving you took the very best of me
I don't need your red wine covered sympathy
Just another punchline in your stand up tragedy
Take my only guarantee
I could be your slave if you'd only beg for me
I don't need your red wine covered sympathy
Just another punchline in your
Stand up
Sit down
Lie back
Turn round
Play dead
For me
Stand up tragedy
