lyrics

When I say I love you, you say,
"Well, what's not to love?"
I know I'm so far above you,
still there is something you ought to know:
I want you back in the tall grass.
Remember that?
Back when I had confidence.
You were weighted down with so much weaponry...
your parting shot still rings in my ear.

I say I'm a Marxist ...
it seems to appeal to girls that think.
I say I'm an artist
'cause all my life that's what I've been told to say.

A Russian girl at the bar with good posture,
twenty-two and so easy to spark.
She melts leaving little more than hoop earrings,
simple conversation,
and a credit card.

I'm still in your shadow
though it's long after dark.
You're so monumental,
you'll last a lifetime.

She said, "Sing me something beautiful;
paint or draw me something beautiful;
write me something beautiful;
film me something that moves with beauty."

Well, there's nothing beautiful about the state I'm in,
you icy thing, I thought some day you would thaw.
You were weighted down with so much weaponry
your parting shot still rings in my ear.

The music press has been kind and concerned enough to write all of this and a lot more! Why don't you find out for yourself! ... more
