Ballad of a Landlord

On the day you arrived The bedroom curtains were drawn All was still The way you left it Same number on the door Easy come, easy go What a way to treat your soul Though I confess Where once hearts rested Now there's nothing But a hole So the prodigal returns I guess the pleasure's not enough Did he promise you the earth A world of beauty an the bluff I tried to tend the garden Until the flowers fell to weed So now the place lies in a ruin The way you lied and ruined me Do I have the answer? If I did I wouldn't know So take it if you want it If you don't Then let me go Fake leopard skin fur says it all You never could be real How I long to taste the secrets From your land of phoney tears You tried to be a movement But there was no one on your side Did you come back here to haunt me Or to take me for a ride? Do I have the answer? If I did I wouldn't know So take it if you want it If you don't then let it go But if you don't Just let me know If you don't Take yourself away I've been hurt once before And I can't have you hurting me Anymore Do I have the answer? If I did I wouldn't know Take it if you want it If you don't then let it go But don't make me the one Who makes you feel like you should go Just take it if you want it If you don't Then let it go If you don't Just let me know I can't take anymore
