Princess cards she sends me with her regards
barroom eyes shine vacancy, to see her you gotta
look hard Wounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed
like some soldier undaunted To her Cheshire smile.
I'll stand on file, she's all I ever wanted. But
you let your blue walls get in the way of these
facts honey, get your carpetbaggers off my back
you wouldn't even give me time to cover my tracks.
You said, "Here's your mirror and your ball
and jacks". But they're not what I came for,
and I'm sure you see that too I came for you, for
you, I came for you, but you did not need my
urgency I came for you, for you, I came for you,
but your life was one long emergency and your
cloud line urges me, and my electric surges free

Crawl into my ambulance, your pulse is getting
weak reveal yourself all now to me girl while
you've got the strength to speak Cause they're
waiting for you at Bellevue with their oxygen
masks But I could give it all to you now if only
you could ask. And don't call for your surgeon
even he says it's too late It's not your lungs
this time, it's your heart that holds your fate
Don't give me money, honey, I don't want it back
you and your pony face and your union jack well
take your local joker and teach him how to act I
swear I was never that way even when I really
cracked Didn't you think I knew that you were born

buildings in a single bound? And your Chelsea
suicide with no apparent motive you could laugh
and cry in a single sound.

And your strength is devastating in the face of
all these odds Remember how I kept you waiting
when it was my turn to be the god?

You were not quite half so proud when I found you
broken on the beach Remember how I poured salt on
your tongue and hung just out of reach And the
band they played the homecoming theme as I
caressed your cheek That ragged, jagged melody she
still clings to me like a leech. But that medal
you wore on your chest always got in the way like
a little girl with a trophy so soft to buy her way
We were both hitchhikers but you had your ear
tuned to the roar of some metal-tempered engine on
an alien, distant shore So you, left to find a
better reason than the one we were living for and
it's not that nursery mouth I came back for It's
not the way you're stretched out on the floor
cause I've broken all your windows and I've rammed
through all your doors And who am I to ask you to
lick my sores? And you should know that's true...
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but you
did not need my urgency I came for you, for you, I
came for you, but your life was one long emergency
