September 13 Lyrics - Steve Kilbey

You never shoulda used magic 

To summon me back here 

The consequences could be rather tragic 

But that's a real good trick my dear 

And all the time I'm under the impression 

Riding on the borders like an ace 

You almost smiled, surely my discretion 

Lost into the desert of your face 

Just the other side of disgrace 

And don't you always get what you ask for 

And don't you always ask for what you get 

I thought you read the label before you laid the table 

You've got no cause for regret 

And all the time I'm under the delusion 

That it's me who's dealing out the script 

You almost jump to your old conclusion 

Your anecdotes they all come forth unripped 

But who gave you the sweat that you dripped
