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
