Princess cards she sends me with her regards

barroom eyes shine vacancy, to see her you gotta look hard

Wounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted

To her Cheshire smile. I'll stand on file, she's all I ever wanted.

But you let your blue walls get in the way of these facts

honey, get your carpetbaggers off my back

you wouldn't even give me time to cover my tracks,

You said, "Here's your mirror and your ball and jacks." But they're not what I came for, and I'm sure you see that too

I came for you, for you, I came for you, but you did not need my urgency

I came for you, for you, I came for you, but your life was one long emergency

and your cloud line urges me, and my electric surges free.



Crawl into my ambulance, your pulse is getting weak,

reveal yourself all now to me girl while you've got the strength to speak

Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue with their oxygen masks

But I could give it all to you now if only you could ask.

And don't call for your surgeon even he says it's too late

It's not your lungs this time, it's your heart that holds your fate

Don't give me money, honey, I don't want it back

you and your pony face and your union jack

well take your local joker and teach him how to act

I swear I was never that way even when I really cracked

Didn't you think I knew that you were born with the power of a locomotive

able to leap tall buildings in a single bound ?

And your Chelsea suicide with no apparent motive

you could laugh and cry in a single sound.



And your strength is devastating in the face of all these odds

Remember how I kept you waiting when it was my turn to be the god ?



You were not quite half so proud when I found you broken on the beach-
