lyrics

You asked me to come down and meet you
Halfway between a nightmare and dream
I brought 12 new lawyers to beat you
They could prove that you'd sinned
I thought I had you pinned
But you cried — and then, so did I.

I say too much, and you say too little.
Somethin' bout love makes me soft in the middle.
I'm beginning to feel like my heart's been misplaced.
'Coz I feel more and more like a goddamn disgrace.

You're not a boat on the ocean
You've been twisted and fed all of your life
You're not a slave to devotion
But if you still need a man, I will make you my wife.

I took you back just to prove I could do it
While you secretly laughed, 'cos I'd lost and you knew it
And to reward my forgiveness, you tickled my face
With the brush as you painted, "Here's a Goddamn Disgrace".

You're not a very good liar.
It's just that you've been believed every time you've deceived.
You're not impervious to fire,
It's just you still haven't learned how flesh smells when it burns.
Come on, take your turn.

"I see you in a cheap suit," said the reader of palms,
"Laid out in your death box out in the back lawn,
And a woman in red just walking away
From the stone that reads 'HERE LIES A GODDAMN DISGRACE'."

I say too much, and you say too little.
Somethin' bout love makes me soft in the middle.
I'm beginning to feel like my heart's been misplaced.
'Coz I feel more and more like a goddamn disgrace.

Oh my God, Oh my God, I'm a goddamn disgrace.
