Starting to Come to Me |
| It’s started to come to me |
| Your new career would probably end like this |
| All that professional lipstick pressed into an amateur kiss |
| Farewell to the studied lines and carefully broken hearts |
| The overpowering perfume and the glimpse of her garter |
| Mingling with the sweet smoldering scent of the martyr |
| Well it’s starting to come to me (come to me, come to me) |
| Starting to come to me |
| So you began to recognize the well-dressed man that everybody loves |
| It started when you chopped off all the fingers of those pony skin gloves |
| Then you cut a hole out where the love-light used to shine |
| Your tears of pleasure equal measure crocodile and brine |
| You try to laugh it off saying «i knew all the time… |
| But it’s starting to come to me» (come to me, come to me) |
| Starting to come to me |
| Sometimes you bring me down to play reluctant confidant |
| You say you may reward him if he gives you what you want |
| But these are days to treasure and to hold |
| They are much too precious to be sold |
| You’d probably play the pirate if you weren’t so busy digging up the gold |
| Now you could tell he wanted you 'cause you almost taste it on his breath |
| But you always cheated life just like the bold dare-devil cheated death |
| Incidentally, late last night your understudy finally got what you deserve |
| In private she’s seductive but in public she’s prim, porcelain and nervous |
| Afraid someone will recognize the shame in her eyes |
| You’ve still got your dignity or the next best disguise |
| You never know when to say no and when to compromise |
| But it’s starting to come to me (come to me, come to me) |
| Starting to come to me (come to me, come to me) |
| Starting to come to me |
