Finishing touches
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.
I'm getting tired of you
You're getting tired of me
And it's the final act
Of our little tragedy
So don't feign indignation
It's a fait accompli
CHORUS
You can screw everybody I've ever known
But I still won't talk to you on the phone
It's a hopeless cause-there's no use crying
And I can die, yu can die,
We can die trying
Thanks anyway, no use hangin' around
You try to put the finishing touches on me
You say it's all my fault
Who's keeping score?
Some people llike to be punished
They keep coming back for more
But I'm sick and tired
And my cock is sore
CHORUS
