I sit here all alone

And i'm feeling green

I press play on your

Goddamn phone machine

His nasal whine

Follows me through the door

His teeth are so nice

They'd look good on the floor



You should've told me

They should've told me

Christ, you should've told me after all those years i spent

Praying to you on my knees in my room back in palm springs

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Mmm-mmm



I pull your letter box

From beneath your bed

And i look through the letters

And all the lies he said

'bout how he would taste you and tempt you and tease you

And twist you around like a circus balloon

Heal you, feel you

And take your ass out to the zoo



You should've told me

They should've told me

Christ, you should've told me after all those years i spent

Praying to you on my knees in my room back in palm springs

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Mmm-mmm



I follow you

Down to the banks of the river

I pull my razor

From my boot as i shiver

You turn around and

"hey, it's a beautiful night"

I hold the razor

To your neck in the pale moonlight



You should've told me

They should've told me

Christ, you should've told me after all those years i spent

Praying to you on my knees in my room back in palm springs

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Mmm-mmm



Morning comes

And the sun it hurts my eyes

I've long stopped hearing

The sound of your muffled cries

The water is pink

And it moves with the tide

Don't worry, honey

I'm right here by your side



You should've told me

They should've told me

Christ, you should've told me after all those years i spent

Praying to you on my knees in my room back in palm springs

Yeah, you should've told me

They should've told me

Christ, you should've told me after all those years i spent

Praying to you on my knees in my room back in palm springs

This can't be heaven

Must've took a wrong turn

'cause it sure feels like hell
