Bridge 1:
no tight side, no rolling eyes, no irony
no 'who cares', no vacant stares, no time for me

Honey you're familiar like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on it's sword
Innocence died screaming, honey ask me I should know
I slithered here from eden just to sit outside your door
Verse 3:
Babe,
there's something wretched about this
something so precious about this
where to begin
Verse 4 played on live shows:
Babe,
there's something broken about this
but I might be open about this
oh what a sin
Bridge 2:
To the strand a picnic plan for you and me
a rope in hand for your other man to hang from a tree
Chorus:
Honey you're familiar like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on it's sword
Innocence died screaming, honey ask me I should know
I slithered here from eden just to sit outside your door
Honey you're familiar like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on it's sword
Innocence died screaming, honey ask me I should know
I slithered here from eden just to sit outside your door
