| She swore out the lights when she said that she was
|
| Only in it for the rain
|
| She made of her bed a naive nativity
|
| Just in case it became — just in case
|
| Here’s the 1st of many songs you wanted me to write
|
| Just for you I hope to god you like it
|
| It’s as pretty as it is cruel
|
| It’s as pretty as it is cruel
|
| She swore out the lights when she dammed herself to sleep
|
| Her thirteenth finger my whiskey drink
|
| And she wept at the scene as
|
| The ambulance drove off
|
| Come circumference,
|
| Come circumstance
|
| Here’s the first of many songs you wanted me to write
|
| Just for you I hope to god you like it
|
| And it may seem pretty cruel but mercy is not my name
|
| And our kids I hope to god you counted them
|
| You’re as pretty as you are cruel
|
| You’re as pretty as you are cruel
|
| You’re as pretty as you are cruel |
