The Ballad Of Grimaldi Lyrics - Babyshambles

While there's still a fighting chance 

Can't you just get up and go 

And get away from this hollow romance 

It's slowly binding us both 

Because you tell me what you want and I'll avoid it 

Tell it to the sick and to the damned 

Show me what you love, watch me destroy it 

For your love just crumbles in my hands 

But if you stay for a while.. 

I'll try to think of something kind to say 

And maybe if we pray for a while 

St. Jude may hear my pleas 

And see me on my bended knees 

Because she knows how I adore you 

We won't be fighting again tonight 

Not if she knows I adore you 

No fighting again tonight.. 

I laugh and fall just like Grimaldi 

You wear your make-up like Baby Jane 

All of those promising lies that you told me 

Come on and tell me them again 

I walked these streets all of my life.. 

The fear and hope 

... 

Because you tell him what you want and he'll avoid it 

May as well tell it to the sick and to the damned 

Show him what you love, watch him destroy it
