The General

Why’d ya even have to come downstairs

The way you look at me it makes me scared

Acting all tough with your bleached-out hair

Just say the word and I’ll be prepared

I don’t know how to love someone like you

With eyes that sparkle like the morning dew

The way you smile ties me up in knots

Just dig me a grave in your family plot

[Verse 3[

Yeah pick me out a grave ‘neath the maple tree

With you I wanna rest for eternity

I know this is new and we just met

But you’re my general and I’m your cadet

You’ll have to show me a way to your heart

Oh won’t you throw me and shatter me apart

Pick up all the pieces please

Let me know just what you need

I don’t wanna be a memory

I just wanna be the air you breathe

Lead me where the grass is green

You’re my shepherd and I’m your sheep

You’ll have to show me a way to your heart

Oh won’t you throw me and shatter me apart

Pick up all the pieces please

Let me know just what you need

Why’d ya even have to come downstairs

The way you look at me it makes me scared

Acting all tough with your bleached-out hair

Just say the word and I’ll be prepared

You’ll have to show me a way to your heart

Oh won’t you throw me and shatter me apart

Pick up all the pieces please

Let me know just what you need
