On a free ride home from the embassy
|
I saw the governor, and his lover holding hands
|
When I got to my place, I emptied my suitcase
|
And opened the windows wide
|
|
If you could save yourself, you'd save us all
|
Is that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door?
|
The time I've spent, working myself to death
|
Thought that's what you wanted
|
I thought you needed my help
|
To make it good again, to make us strong
|
To make you happy, to push you along
|
And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb
|
I was on my knees, when you knocked me down
|
|
The wheels fell off, the bottom dropped out
|
The checks all bounced, I came in your mouth
|
Your mother came calling but there was no one around
|
The trash caught fire when the leaves turned brown
|
The vultures were circling when the circus left town
|
I left you a note but I wrote it in disappearing ink
|
|
If you could save yourself, you'd save us all
|
Is that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door?
|
The time I've spent, working myself to death
|
Thought that's what you wanted
|
I thought you needed my help
|
To make it good again, to make us strong
|
To make you happy, to push you along
|
And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb
|
I was on my knees, when you knocked me down
|
