Princess cards she sends me |
|
With her regards |
|
Oh, barroom eyes shine vacancy |
|
To see her you gotta look hard |
|
Wounded deep in battle |
|
I stand stuffed like some solider undaunted |
|
To her cheshire smile, I'll stand on file |
|
She's all I ever wanted |
|
You let your blue walls get in the way of these facts, honey |
|
Get your carpetbaggers off my back |
|
Girl, give me time to cover my tracks |
|
She said, "Here's your mirror and your ball and jacks" |
|
But they're not what I came for |
|
Oh, I came for so much more |
|
And I know you know that, too |
|
And I know you know that's true |
|
I came for you |
|
I came for you |
|
I came for you, for you, I came for you |
|
Crawl into my ambulance |
|
Your pulse is getting weak |
|
Reveal yourself all to me now |
|
While you got the strength to speak |
|
'Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue |
|
With their oxygen masks |
|
But I could give it all to you now |
|
If only you could ask |
|
Don't call for your surgeon, even he says it's late |
|
It's not your lungs this time but your heart holds your fate |
|
Don't give me my money back, don't want it anymore |
|
It's not that nursery mouth I came back for |
|
It's not the way you stretched out on the floor |
|
I've broken all your windows and I rammed through all your doors |
|
And who am I to ask you to fight my wars |
|
And you should know that's true |
|
You should know that, too |
|
I came for you |
|
I came for you |
|
I came for you, for you, I came for you |
|
Don't call for your surgeon, even he says it's late |
|
It's not your lungs this time but your heart holds your fate |
|
Don't give me my money back, don't want it anymore |
|
It's not that nursery mouth I came back for |
|
It's not the way you stretched out on the floor |
|
I've broken all your windows and I rammed through all your doors |
|
Who am I to ask you to fight my wars |
|
And you should know that's true |
|
You should know that, too |
|
I came for you |
|
I came for you |
|
I came for you |
|
I came for you |
|
I came for you, for you, I came for you |
|
I came for you |
|
