Funny Little Tragedy (with Elvis Costello)

Life has finally shown you
It’s a mean old world
The killer little soldier
Is now a scared little girl
Always had everything
Just handed to you
Always had it your way
I got to hand it to you
And seeing you now
All broken down, I gotta say…
It’s a funny little tragedy
A funny little tragedy
A funny little tragedy
Your standing on my doorstep
You say you’ve got nowhere to go
You’re all soaking wet
I’ve never seen you so low
Sorry if I don’t fall
For your tricks again
But I seem to recall
The way you did me in
And now your new lover
Has left you high and dry, I gotta say…
It’s a funny little tragedy
A funny little tragedy
A funny little tragedy
Yeah I dream about this day
Seeing you go down this way
Thats all I got to say
Maybe some day
If I see you again
Things will be different
And we can be friends
But for now I believe
You better walk away
The little soldier and me
We go our separate ways
I can watch you walking
Tears running down your face
It’s a funny little tragedy
A funny little tragedy
A funny little tragedy
Yeah, I dream about this day
Seeing you down this way
Thats all I got to say…
