[Verse 1]
Babe
There's something tragic about you
Something so magic about you
Don't you agree?
Babe
There's something lonesome about you
Something so wholesome about you
Get closer to me

[Pre-Chorus]
No tired sighs, no rolling eyes
No irony
No "Who cares?", no vacant stares
No time for me

[Chorus]
Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword
Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me, I should know
I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door

[Verse 2]
Babe
There's something wretched about this
Something so precious about this
Let it begin
Babe
There's something broken about this
I might be hopin' about this
Oh, what a sin
[Pre-Chorus]
To the strand a picnic planned
For you and me
A rope in hand for your other man
To hang from a tree

[Chorus]
Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword
Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me, I should know
I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Oh, honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword
Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me, I should know
I slithered here from Eden just to hide outside your door
