You’re so devil-may-care
Like you thought you could barely
Spare me You’re in sync with the signs
With the craziest times, please
Spare me Now you feel so confused
By the pleasures I choose
You’d love to spare me Keep me bound and possessed
Keep the knife in my chest
Oh won’t you, spare me!
You said some gorgeous things
But only half the time
Only half the time
I lived your gorgeous dream
For only half a life
Only half a life
Pre-Columbian steel
Cuts so hard and so deeply
Spare me Geographically tied
To some place you can’t find, please
Spare me All these verses fall flat
Like a stone in a hat
Oh won’t you spare me?
Sell your soul for a fee
To the dull bourgeoisie?
Come on now, spare me!
You said some gorgeous things
But only half the time
Only half the time
I lived your gorgeous dream
For only half a life
Only half a life
