Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It took a lost weekend in a hotel in Amsterdam
And double pneumonia in a single room
And the sickest joke was the price of the medicine
Are you laughing at me now? May I please laugh along with you?
[Verse 2]
This morning I woke up from a deep, unquiet sleep
With ashtray clothes and this lonely heart's pen
Which I wrote for you a love song in tattoo upon my palm
'Twas stolen from me when Jesus took my hand
[Verse 3]
You see, I
I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it
Drop it and I'll fall to pieces
So easily
[Verse 4]
I was a king bee with a head full of attitude
Wore my heart on my sleeve like a stain and my aim was taboo
You, could we meet in the marketplace?
Did I ever, hey, please, did you wound my knees?
[Verse 5]
You see, I
I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it
Drop it and I'll fall to pieces, yeah
Too easy
[Verse 6]
There's nobody else to blame
I hang my head in a crying shame
There is nobody else to blame
Nobody else 'cept my sweet self again
[Verse 7]
It took a lost weekend in a hotel in Amsterdam
Twenty four gone years to conclude in tears
And the sickest joke was the price of the medicine
Are you laughing at me now? May I please laugh along?
[Verse 8]
I was a king bee with a head full of attitude
An ashtray heart on my sleeve, wounded knees
And my one love song was a tattoo upon my palm
You wrote upon me when you took my hand
[Verse 9]
You see, I
I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it
Drop it and I'll fall to pieces
Too easily
Too easily
Too easily
