Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Babe
There's something tragic about you
Something so magicĀ about you
Don't you agree?
[Verse 2]
Babe
There's something lonesome about you
Something so wholesome about you
Get closer to me
[Verse 3]
No tired sigh, no rolling eyes
No irony
No who cares, no vacant stare
No time for me
[Verse 4]
Honey, you're familiar
Like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison
Chivalry fell on his sword
[Verse 5]
Innocence died screaming
Honey, ask me, I should know
I slithered here from Eden
Just to sit outside your door
[Verse 6]
Babe
There's something wretched about this
Something so precious about this
Where to begin?
[Verse 7]
Babe
There's something broken about this
But I might be hoping about this
Oh, what a sin
[Verse 8]
To the strand, a picnic planned
For you and me
A rope in hand for your other man
To hang from a tree
[Verse 9]
Honey, you're familiar
Like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison
Chivalry fell on its sword
[Verse 10]
Innocence died screaming
Honey, ask me, I should know
I slithered here from Eden
Just to sit outside your door
[Verse 11]
Ooh, honey, you're familiar
Like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison
Chivalry fell on its sword
[Verse 12]
Innocence died screaming
Honey, ask me, I should know
I slithered here from Eden
Just to hide outside your door
