It seems you think I promised you the moon

You must be seeing stars

The callous future with a nervousness soon

But that's all in the past

You got off light

Lying there in your own world tonight

Turn off the charm, it's too damn bright

Hey you got off light

The rude rumors you started were partially true

You should be very proud

How will it be when they catch up with you

You're standing face to face with the jeering crowd

You got off light

Lying there in your own world tonight

In the dark with your second sight

You got off light

You didn't make such a big mistake

I should have checked on your credit

I pressed your hand in a clammy handshake

And I knew that I'd regret it

You got off light

Lying there in your own world tonight

But you're just too civilized to fight

You got off light

You got off light

Lying there in your own world tonight

Turn off the charm, it's too damn bright

You got off light
