Pardon me sugar
I'm the man underneath your thumb
But I won't take your violence
And I won't chew your bubblegum
White heat, indiscreet
Any day now obsolete
Though you've seen your best days
I will still walk down your empty street
Well, you look like salvation
But you taste like a refugee
Well, you say you've got no soul
But you look like you do to me
If I was the melody you were the symphony
Honey, loving you took the very best of me
I don't need your red wine covered sympathy
Just another punchline in your stand up tragedy
Well I've been pushing up daisies
Just to catch a glimpse of something real (ooh ooh)
When I see you coming
I might just as well give up and kneel (ooh ooh)
Well, if you saw me broken
Would you put me out my misery (ooh ooh)
Well, I don't do handsome
And you don't do sympathy (ooh ooh)
If I was the melody you were the symphony
Honey, loving you took the very best of me
I don't need your red wine covered sympathy
Just another punchline in your stand up tragedy
Wrong from the get go
Let it slide
Tell 'em what they don't know
Sing those praises far and wide
Give those speeches
Ring them bells
Mama, don't know what she preaches
But she sure looks dignified
Well, she sure looks dignified
Well, she sure looks dignified
If I was the melody you were the symphony
Honey, loving you took the very best of me
I don't need your red wine covered sympathy
Just another punchline in your stand up tragedy
Take my only guarantee
I could be your slave if you'd only beg for me
I don't need your red wine covered sympathy
Just another punchline in your
Stand up
Sit down
Lie back
Turn 'round
Play dead
For me
