I've been waiting patiently. For the crowd to gather in. To read off my demands. On the news this evening. . I have not asked for much. But I want what I can't afford.
The good lord must have heard my prayers. Because he packed up and disappeared. He took the praise and extravagant odes. And left the sting, I've been dying to know.
C'mon, little darling. Put on your favorite shoes. C'mon, c'mon, little darling. I'm gonna give you the blues. . I'll make sure to keep. A light on to draw you in.
You're soaking wet in the middle of a dry spell. The cold sex and the boredom sells. Heat-seeker, pull the curtain down. The death pangs and the wedding vows.
We're breaking up, getting lost in the static. You're getting blurry, right in front of me. The footsteps growing quiet. In the hallway as I let go. .
I got caught dragging. The scraps from the heap. By the junkyard dogs. They won't leave me alone, no. 'Cause I went for the pearl. They keep in the mouth of the pig.
Write a note and keep the car running. Hide the evidence in front of their eyes. The heat of passion. In the sweat, we're baptized. . Don't ask if I know what I'm doing.
I hope you've taken notice of the wandering eyes. All the circling wagons and where I draw the line. All the birds of prey that keep searching. Have come to feast on my little black heart.
You couldn't tell it by the tone that I want you?. You couldn't guess from the vibe that you're mine?. Shot glasses, burnt out cigarettes. You wanted nothing, baby, get in line.
I'll let the coin toss figure it out. If that's alright. I can't be bothered. With affairs of the heart. When I'm trying to ruin my life. . Place your money down.
