Lyrics
My Compensation
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.
My eyes snap open and I get up I say
This must be my lucky day
Jump up - get out - get on my way
Every slobbery frog and every mangy dog
That crosses my path reminds me
You're my precious jewel and you're my precious one
My compensation.
I used to live in a big house
All I ever thought about was getting out
When I met you there was something about you
Every slobbery frog and every mangy dog
That crosses my path reminds me
I love your brain.
I love your brain.
I love your brain.
