Wasted on Fidelity

She's got her mother's pride but not her strength

And the length she'll go to win an argument

Is long enough but not strong enough for me

There's no reasoning to these things

You know the hurt that loss brings

So I gave myself to the sure things

The simple and the bored things

In my wasted wealth on the bored things

Those entertaining mornings when I can't see past the door

When my tie's hung above my trousers balled up on the floor

And she's rifling through her drawers

For a pretty little under thing that'll make me beg for more

You know she's gotta busy day

And I'd really love to stay

But I got shows to stop and pills to pop

So I really must be going, baby

Well, I'm wasted on fidelity as I edge upon insanity

But it's just been a battering rhapsody for me

I'll take lacy covered solace

In the hope that she might promise

All things that she had mentioned

You can't imagine the potential

So I gave myself to the sure things

The simple and the bored things

In my wasted wealth on the bored things

Those entertaining mornings when I can't see past the door

When my tie's hung above my trousers balled up on the floor

And she's rifling through the drawers

For a pretty little under thing that'll make me beg for more

You know she's gotta busy day

And I'd really love to stay

But I got shows to stop and rolls to rock

So I really must be going, babe

On the bored things, the simple and the sure things

In my wasted wealth on the bored things

I drowned myself in the sure things

The simple and the bored things

In my wasted wealth on the bored things

Those entertaining mornings with what's her face
