Pardon me sugar I’m the man underneath your palm Well I won’t take your balance and I won’t chew your bubblegum White heat, indiscreet, any day now obsolete Know 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 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 When I see you coming I might just as well give up a meal Well if you saw me broken won’t you put me out my misery Well I don’t do handsome and you don’t do sympathy 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 me what they don’t know Sing them 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 Stand up tragedy
It started out as nothing in the strangest sense
He was never in his right mind, no defense
She prayed for his attention, often on repeat
Every time she heard his name and his heartbeat
He was in denial in his own backyard
Pleading for the rain just to come down hard
She bought him a bracelet and put it on his wrist
Like every time before she got close but missed
Romeo, Romeo I’m your Juliet
I’m the pot of gold that you haven’t found yet
I’m here, right here
He said, «Juliet I believe every word you say
Time is running backwards every single day
I’m here, right here»
Well it started out as nothing in the strangest place
Beating like a drum in a hard luck space
He swore that he could feel something tugging on his sleeve
He had the strangest sense that he was Adam, she was Eve
She was in chains by her own good hand
Keeping all the angels under her command
He saw every detail burning like sun
Couldn’t get it straight that his race was run
Romeo, Romeo tell me where you’ve been
I would be complete if you would let me in
I’m here, right here
He said, «Juliet I told you I was only passing through
If I had a moment I would spend it just with you
I’m here, right here»
And they all fall down
And they all fall down
And she said, «Romeo, Romeo I’m your Juliet
I’m the pot of gold that you haven’t found yet
I’m here, right here»
He said, «Juliet I believe every word you say
Time is running backwards every single day
I’m here, right here»
She said, «Romeo, Romeo tell me where you’ve been
I would be complete if you would let me in
I’m here, right here»
And he said, «Juliet I told you I was only passing through
If I had a moment I would spend it just with you
I’m here, right here»
Well look out Sunshine here they go You’ve got yesterday’s heroes in last nights clothes
You’re a game old boy judging by the way you walk
Well there’s no use telling me to leave
I’ve seen a half a dozen ghosts but I don’t believe
I’m a cynical cunt and I’m much too lazy to change
And tell my friends I’ll be around
Getting nowhere sleeping somewhere
With a girl I dreamed oh yeah
And sing that old song how does it go?
Look oyt Sunshine here’s the punch line
No one gets you any more
Well look out Sunshine here they come
But they only play for money you better not run
It’s the sell out show that no one wants to go to, yeah
Well there’s non so blind as them that don’t agree
They steal the money from you’re pockets almost viciously
You’re a sane old boy and you’re much to crazy to change
And tell my friends I’ll be around
Getting nowhere sleeping somewhere
With a girl I dreamed oh yeah
And sing that old song how does it go?
Look oyt Sunshine here’s the punch line
No one gets you any more
And what do you mean you were born to love this scene
And they would string you up gladly
If they knew just how lazy you’d been
Tell my friends I’ll be around???
And tell my friends I’ll be around
Getting nowhere sleeping somewhere
With a girl I dreamed oh yeah
And sing that old song how does it go?
Look oyt Sunshine here’s the punch line
No one gets you any, no one needs you any
No one geys you any more
She never came from Miami FLA She never found herself like other girls they say She had the kind of face you’d never ever miss, invisible in bliss She couldn’t understand why nobody felt like this She walked a mile in a faithless pair of heels Just to imagine how it looks and how it feels To be the kind of girl that everyone, that everyone adored High upon the scoreband Smiling through her teeth Wild as thunder underneath High, high in the sky out of reach of you and I Witnessing the days go by don’t it make a poor girl cry? Oh Lord it’s a sin all this pain we’re living in Don’t it make your poor head spin Down the road and back again La la la la down the road and back again La la la la He never told himself ambition wasn’t real He taught his eyes to think and his brain how to feel He got his wires crossed and couldn’t raise a smile Made sense once in a while Counting down the days till his clothes came back in style He couldn’t see how anything was right or wrong He knew the words and tune but didn’t know the song He spoke a language that he couldn’t barely speak An out of date technique Though he was just blood and bone he always felt unique! High, high in the sky out of reach of you and I Witnessing the days go by don’t it make a poor girl cry? Oh Lord it’s a sin all this pain we’re living in Don’t it make your poor head spin Down the road and back again La la la la down the road and back again La la la la down the road and back again La la la la down the road and back again La la la la down the road and back again Each and every last one in denial Counting every minute till it seems worthwhile Dragging behind them every last heartache Singing «Jesus Forgive me» for their own sake In a fever Nothing better When your souls at stake… High, high in the sky out of reach of you and I Witnessing the days go by don’t it make a poor girl cry? Oh Lord it’s a sin all this pain we’re living in Don’t it make your poor head spin Down the road and back again La la la la down the road and back again La la la la down the road and back again La la la la down the road and back again La la la la down the road and back again
Let me in or let me go I swear
Out there
Nobody else will ever know what you’re thinking
All your angels will not save your skin
You’ll spin
Please don’t forget that you’re the end and the beginning
In your own sweet time you’ll see
Your neuroses unwind
There'll be no rain on your parade
There'll be no devils on your mind
So darling break out the laughing gas
You and I know this joke soon will pass
Give me your last request
And I’ll see what I can do
To paint your grey skies blue before I pass
That’s all I ask
Break out the laughing gas
Well let me go or let me in, it’s time
A sign
Please don’t pretend you just can’t feel it
All your ships are sailing, all your bridges burned
Show me your heart so I can steal it
In your own sweet time you’ll find
That all your words will rhyme
There’ll be no blood upon your tracks
There’ll be no thread left to unwind
So darling break out the laughing gas
You and I know this joke soon will pass
Give me your last request
And I’ll see what I can do
To paint your grey skies blue
Before I pass
That’s all I ask
Break out the laughing gas
Take all your ideals and well told tales
I know a prayer that never fails
Don’t hold your breath, you dreamed this dream well
Just click your heels and you’ll soon break this unholy spell
This hell
Is only a story you tell
So break out the laughing gas
Let go, let this soap opera be your last
Set all these fools on fire
Why should you not have all that you desire
Break out the laughing gas
You and I know this joke soon will pass
Give me your last request
And I’ll see what I can do
To paint your grey skies blue
Before I pass
That’s all I ask
Break out the laughing gas
