When you got crippled by that car When we was martyred monthly and scarred by the way that we are We nearly broke your mother's heart Stay close and pray she never knows How we both fell apart Sure, we were cynics from the start Spellbound still safe as houses Now pending me down for your hearts And we never meant you any harm And still though we've thought not to be caught How the thought made me hard And sure we look loathsome from afar Hateful and hollow, smug and smart Well, don't we look the part? Sweetheart, remembered for your art Train those charms toward the charts and we'll be stars Just the way that we are And how do we simply carry on? Sweetness, with wrists gone lifeless, save one tacky tryst on that lawn How long must we be strung along? And my hope, that you will be undone by the sum of one's song So you got crippled by that car No longer martyred monthly, though scarred by the way that we are Sweetheart, those sycophants, they thought Take those drones by the stones and we'll be stars Just the way that we are
