Babe, there's something tragic about you Something so magic about you Don't you agree? Babe, there's something lonesome about you Something so wholesome about you Get closer to me No tired sigh, no rolling eyes, no irony No who cares, no vacant stare, no time for me Honey you're familiar Like my mirror years ago Idealism sits in prison Chivalry fell on his sword Innocence died screaming Honey, ask me, I should know I slithered here from eden Just to sit outside your door Babe, there's something wretched about this Something so precious about this Oh, what a sin To the strand, a picnic planned for you and me A rope in hand for your other man To hang from a tree Honey you're familiar Like my mirror years ago Idealism sits in prison Chivalry fell on his sword Innocence died screaming Honey, ask me, I should know I slithered here from eden Just to sit outside your door Honey you're familiar Like my mirror years ago Idealism sits in prison Chivalry fell on his sword Innocence died screaming Honey, ask me, I should know I slithered here from eden Just to sit outside your door
