You are consistent, 
I am lackaday 
You are sufficient, 
I'm in disarray 
You give me pleasure, 
I bring you heartache 
You give me light when all is dark and lonely 
You're my concession, 
I am contrary. 
You are exception, 
I am more the rule 
You are discretion, 
I am more the fool 
You show me patience, 
I take advantage 
An' leave you lost an' on your own an' lonely 
You are forever, 
I'll come crashin' down. 
INSTRUMENT
AL You throw me line when 
I'm clutchin' straws and 
You lift me up when 
I am down an' lonely 
You're my concession, 
I am contrary. 
You are consistent, 
I am lackaday 
You are sufficient, 
I'm in disarray 
You give me pleasure, 
I bring you heartache 
You give me light when all is dark and lonely 
You're my concession, 
I am contrary. 
You're my concession, 
I am contrary. 
You're my concession, 
I am contrary. 
You're my concession, 
I am contrary. (and fade).
