For You |
| Princess card she sends me |
| With her regards |
| Ballroom 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 stand on trial |
| She’s all I ever wanted |
| But, you let your four walls get in the way of the facts |
| Honey, get your carpetbaggers off of my back |
| You didn’t even give me time to cover my tracks |
| Your said «Here's you mirror and your ball and jacks» |
| It’s not what I came for |
| I came for you for you I came for you |
| But you did not heed my urgency |
| I came for you for you I came for you |
| But your life was one long emergency |
| Crawl into my ambulance |
| Your pulse is getting weak |
| Reveal yourself on now to me girl |
| While you’ve still got the strength to speak |
| 'Cause their waiting for you at Bellevue |
| With their oxygen masks |
| But, but I can give it all to you now |
| If only you could ask |
| But don’t tell 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 with your phony face and your union jack |
| Yes you know it’s true |
| I came for you for you I came for you |
| But you did not heed my urgency |
| I came for you for you I came for you |
| But your life was one long emergency |
| Yeah, so you’ll have to find the reason |
| The one you’re living for |
| It’s not your nursery mouth I came back for |
| It’s not the way you’re stretched out on that floor |
| 'Cause I’ve broken all your windows |
| And I’ve ran through all your doors |
| And you should know that’s true |
| I came for you for you I came for you |
| But you did not heed my urgency |
| I came for you for you I came for you |
| But your life was one long emergency |
| I came for you for you I came for you |
| But you did not heed my urgency |
| I came for you for you I came for you |
| But your life was one long emergency |
| I came for you for you I came for you |
| For you for you I came for you |
| For you for you I came for you |
