Lyrics
Stand Up Tragedy
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.
Pardon me sugar I'm the man underneath your thumb
But I won't take your balance and I won't chew your bubblegum
White heat, indiscreet, any day now obsolete
Know you've seen your best days
I will still walk down your empty street
Well you look like salvation but you taste like a refugee
You say you've got no soul but you look like you do to me
If I was the melody you were the symphony
Honey loving you took the very best of me
I don't need your red wine covered sympathy
Just another punchline in your stand up tragedy
Well I've been pushing up daisies
Just to catch a glimpse of something real
When I see you coming I might just as well give up and kneel
Well if you saw me broken won't you put me out my misery
Well I don't do handsome and you don't do sympathy
If I was the melody you were the symphony
Honey loving you took the very best of me
I don't need your red wine covered sympathy
Just another punchline in your stand up tragedy
Wrong from the get go
Let it slide
Tell 'em what they don't know
Sing them praises far and wide
Give those speeches
Ring them bells
Mama don't know what she preaches
But she sure looks dignified
Well she sure looks dignified
Well she sure looks dignified
If I was the melody you were the symphony
Honey loving you took the very best of me
I don't need your red wine covered sympathy
Just another punchline in your stand up tragedy
Take my only guarantee
I can be your slave if you'd only beg for me
I don't need your red wine covered sympathy
Just another punchline in your
Stand up
Sit down
Lie back
Turn round
Play dead
For me
Stand up tragedy
