I could never pretend that I don't love you,
|
You could never pretend that I'm your man.
|
That's exactly the way that I want it,
|
That's exactly the way that I am.
|
|
And you call me in the morning with your troubles,
|
Takin' it downtown every night.
|
I could never place the stars at night above ya,
|
Got my hands in the ground and you know I'm right.
|
|
You wait so long [x4]
|
|
[Instrumental]
|
|
It's a coffee stain earth every time it happens,
|
Liven up honey it ain't that bad.
|
And the afterthought rose to recognition,
|
Like every other coffin that I had.
|
|
And your Buick broke down and went a muck,
|
You fall to your knees and you pray to the Lord.
|
Maybe take up hope at the politicians,
|
Nothing happens in this burnt down town anymore.
|
|
You wait so long [x8]
|
|
[Instrumental]
|
|
And your heart rolls on like a frozen freight train,
|
You know that I help you if I can.
|
But I'm just a raindrop in a river,
|
Just a little itty-bitty grain of sand.
|
|
And you know that I'm doomed to repeat this,
|
With all the bad habits that I learned.
|
But it's better then your five earned fornication,
|
And all the dirty money that you earned.
|
|
You wait so long [x8]
|
|
You wait so long...
|
