Lyrics

Delilah

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

There's no end to the love you can give

When you change your point of view to underfoot

Very good

You may be flat but you're breathing

There's no doubt he's at home alone in his room

Probably watching porn of you from the fall

It's last call

And you're the last one leaving

And you thought you could change the world

By opening your legs

Well, it isn't very hard

Try kicking them instead

And you thought you could change his mind

By changing your perfume

To the kind his mother wore

Oh God, Delilah, why?

I never met a more impossible girl

In this same bar where you slammed down your hand

And said: Amanda, I'm in love

No, you're not

You're just a sucker for the ones who use you

And it doesn't matter what I say or do

The stupid bastard's gonna have his way with you

You're an unrescuable schizo

Or else you're on the rag

And if you take him back

I'm gonna lose my nerve

I never met a more impossible girl

At four o'clock he got off and you called up

I'm down at Denny's on Route One

And you won't guess what he's done

Is that a fact, Delilah?

Larry tap let you in through the back

And use his calling card again

For a quick hand of gin

You are impossible, Delilah

The Princess of Denial

And after seven years in advertising

You are none the wiser

You're an unrescuable schizo

Or else you're on the rag

'Cause if you take him back

I'm gonna lose my nerve

He's gonna beat you like a pillow

You schizos never learn

And if you take him home

You'll get what you deserve

I never met a more impossible girl

So don't cry, Delilah!

You're still alive, Delilah!

You need a ride, Delilah?

Let's see how fast this thing can go

Let's see how fast this thing can go

Let's see how fast this thing can go
