1
Princess cards she sends me, with her regards
2
Oh, barroom eyes shine vacancy
3
To see her you gotta look hard
4
Wounded deep in battle
5
I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted
6
To her cheshire smile I'll stand on file
7
She's all I ever wanted
8
But you let your blue walls get in the way of these facts
9
Honey, get your carpetbaggers off my back
10
You wouldn't even give me time to cover my tracks
11
You're saying, "Here's your mirror and your ball and jack"
12
But they're not what I came for
13
And I'm sure you see that too
14
I came for you, for you, I came for you
15
But you did not need my urgency
16
I came for you, for you, I came for you
17
But your life was one long emergency
18
And the cloud line urges me, and my electric surges free
19
Climb into my ambulance, your pulse is getting weak
20
Oh, reveal yourself all now to me girl
21
While you've got the chance to speak
22
'Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue
23
With their oxygen masks
24
I could give it all to you now if only you could ask
25
But don't call for your surgeon even he says it's too late
26
It's not your lungs this time
27
It's your heart that holds your fate
28
Well don't give me money, honey, I don't want it back
29
You and your pony face and your union jack
30
Well take your local joker and teach him how to act
31
'Cause I swore I was never that way even when I really cracked
32
Didn't you think I knew that you were born with the power of a locomotive
33
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound?
34
And your Chelsea suicide with no apparent motive
35
You could laugh and cry in a single sound, oh oh, oh oh
36
And your strength is devastating in the face of all these odds
37
Remember how I kept you waiting when it was my turn to be the god?
38
You were not quite half too proud when I found you broken on the beach
39
Oh, remember how I poured salt on your tongue and hung just out of reach?
40
And the band they played the homecoming theme as I caressed your cheek
41
Oh that ragged, jagged melody, she still clings to me like a leach
42
But that medal you wore on your chest always got in the way
43
Like a little girl with a trophy so soft to buy her way
44
We were both hitchhikers but you had your ear tuned to the roar
45
Of some metal-tempered engine on that alien, distant shore
46
And now you left to find a better reason than the one we were living for
47
And it's not that nursery mouth I came back for
48
It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor
49
'Cause I've broken all your windows and I've rammed through all your doors
50
And who am I to tell you to lick my sore?
51
And you should see that too
52
I came for you, for you, I came for you
53
But you did not need my urgency
54
I came for you, for you, I came for you
55
But your life was one long emergency
56
And the cloud line urges me, and my electric surges free
