sends me with her regards
Oh, bar room eyes shine va cancy,
to see her you gotta look hard
I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted
To her Cheshire smile, I'll stand on file,
Oh, but you let your blue walls get
in the way of these facts
You wouldn't even give me time
You said, here's your mirror
But they're not what I came for,
and I'm sure you see that too
I came for you, for you, I came for you
But you did not need my urgency
I came for you, for you, I came for you
But your life was one long emergency
And your cloud line urges me
And my electric surges free
Oh, crawl into my ambulance,
your pulse is getting weak
Oh, reveal yourself all now to me, girl
While you've got the strength
'Cause they're waiting for you at
Bellevue with their oxygen masks
But I could give it all to you now,
Oh, and don't call for your surgeon,
even he says it's too late
It's not your lungs this time,
it's your heart that holds your fate
Don't give me my money, honey,
Well, take your local joker and
I swear I was never that way,
even when I really cracked
That you were born with the
Able to leap tall buildings
You could laugh and cry in a single sound
You were not quite half so proud when
I found you broken on the beach
Remember how I poured salt on your
tongue and hung just out of reach
And the band, they played the homecoming
theme as I caressed your cheek
Yeah, that ragged, jagged melody,
she still clings to me like a leech
But that medal you wore on your
chest always got in the way
Like a little girl with a trophy
We were both hitchhikers but you had
your ears tuned to the roar
Of some metal-tempered engine en gine on an alien,
So you left to find a better reason
than the one we were living for
And it's not that nursery mouth
It's not the way you're stretched
'Cause I've broken all your windows and
I've rammed through all your doors
And who am I to ask you to lick my sores?
And you should know that's true
I came for you, for you, I came for you
But you did not need my urgency
I came for you, for you, I came for you
But your life was one long emergency
And your cloud line urges me
And my electric surges free
