They're shinin' up their shoes to kick a falling star
You think you should be somebody but you don't know who you are
I looked on but hesitated, I failed to interrupt
He wants her so much
I'll memorize your face, your tragic smile
Everyone wearing that medal with pride, Harpies Bizarre
She's heard some of those small town playboys but this is something new
To the part of him that dies
You're so hard to tell the truth to, so easy to corrupt
The hurt look in your eyes as you betrayed yourself
He drops a name or two, she fails to catch
He says "You'd better leave, you've only got yourself to blame
The waiting lines are long, they never get too far
His promise seems dangerous, she'd like to believe
The waiting lines are long, they never get too far
She puts up half hearted resistance, like she was taught to do
Shame, or deceive"
At last he's met his match unspoiled and unaffected
