An Animal In Your Care

ubi_rex@hotmail.com

Time after time you will forgive me

Like an animal in your care

But give it time. You will outlive me

And take the bow back you put in my hair

Made a parade of myself in the street outside your house

For the New York photographer there

I fell for crime and I fell for beauty

I fell for you because you're the one that cared

And when I die you can put on costumes

In the style of the clothes I wore

And sing the songs your lover taught you

When you were too young to know that this was what they were for.

C G Em Em (riff at bottom)

La la la la. La la la lala. lalala

La la la la. La la la lala. lalala

Like some dead relative, you will remember me most

by my funeral and all the beautiful toasts you made

Take back the spade. We've both been filling up our days

like we were filling in a grave
