lyrics

It was so lacking in skill,
I had to write the word down
So I could carry it 'round--
So I could bend it to my will.

Bet he was pleased with it, too.
That's how those metaphors work--
You give their strings a good jerk,
And then they do the rest for you.

I don't pretend I was right.
But I had a reason to pry.
You were pulling away, and I knew
I had to find out why.

I've been everything I feared--
In the way until I got stale.
And I did it all so well
I'm a cautionary tale.

It wasn't anything new.
But it was something to see
That you think so little of me
You let the gimmick continue.

What made you slum it this way?
To keep it all so flat?
To cozy up to a soul
As unremarkable as that?

A little red corvette--
You'd think he'd know it was theft
Or how much mileage was left
And how much more eloquent I get.
