One, two, three, four!Princess cards she sends me with her regardsHer barroom eyes shine vacancy, to see her you gotta look hardWell I was wounded deep in battle, but I stood stuffed like some soldier undauntedTo her Cheshire smile, I'd stand on file, she's all I ever wantedWell you let your blue walls get in the way of these factsHoney, get your carpetbaggers off my backYou wouldn't even give me time to cover my tracksYou said, "Here's your mirror and your ball and jacks"But they ain't what I came for, and I'm sure you see that tooI came for you, for you, I came for you, you did not need my urgencyFor you, for you, I came for you, your life was one long emergencyYour cloud line urges me, my electric surges freeCrawl into my ambulance, your pulse is getting weakReveal yourself now to me girl while you've got the strength to speakThey're waiting for you at Bellevue with their oxygen masksWell I could give it all to you here, if only you would askWell, don't call for your surgeon, even he says it's too lateIt ain't your lungs this time, it's your heart that holds your fateDon't give me my money, honey, I don't want it backYou and your pony face and your union jackWell, take that local joker and teach him how to actWell I was never that way even when I really crackedDidn't you think I knew that you were born with the power of a locomotiveAble to leap tall buildings in a single bound?Your Chelsea suicide with no apparent motiveYou could laugh and cry in a single soundAh hey heyYour strength is devastating in the face of all these oddsRemember how I kept you waiting when it was my turn to be the godYou were not quite half so proud when I found you broken on the beachRemember how I poured salt on your tongue and hung just out of reachOh and the band, they played the homecoming theme as I caressed your cheekThat ragged, jagged melody still clings to me like a leechWell that medal you wore on your chest always got in the wayYou were like a little girl with a trophy so soft to buy her wayWe were both hitchhiking, but you had your ears tuned to the roarOf some metal-tempered engine on an alien distant shoreYou left to find a better reason than the one we were living forAnd it ain't that nursery mouth I came back forIt ain't the way that you're stretched out on the floorI've broken all your windows, rammed through all your doorsWho am I to ask you to lick my sores?You should know it's trueI came for you, for you, I came for you, you did not need my urgencyFor you, for you, I came for you, your life was one long emergencyAnd your cloud line urges me, my electric surges freeWell I came for you, for you, I came for youFor you, for you, I came for youFor you, for you, I came for youFor you, for you, I came for you
