Oh man,
look what the cat drug in
It's got the dress, tho the color's gone
that I gave my one true love on
Oh man, look what the wind blew home
Never had this much stimulation
since her low down elevation, but
Oh, don't look in those eyes
bluer than blue
her rule's on the rise
and if I wear apathy's crown
don't call me higness
it's a long way down
Oh, what terrible things she shows
I'm overwhelmed by rumors this high
and overcome by lows
Oh, what use is it to pretend
that I have the strength for this anymore
This is all in the world that she lives for but...
Oh, don't look in those eyes
bluer than blue
her rule's on the rise
and if I wear apathy's crown
don't call me highness
('cause) it's a long way down
Now I would suppose
that I'm not the only one
and one never knows...
but I got a feeling she's been
sleeping with the whole wide world
Oh, don't look in those eyes
bluer than blue
her rule's on the rise
and if I wear apathy's crown
don't call me highness
it's a long way down
