Why don’t you come back inside, honey? Sunlight makes it hard to hide I’ve spent almost all of my money There’s one thing that I can’t buy Why can’t you just hold me like before The knights were lonely and their swords Were brightly glowing in the blue august moon If you ask me “where am I going?” I swear that I won’t tell a lie But how can you stay on that line, knowing Soon you’ll be dissatisfied Why can’t you just hold me like before The knights were lonely and their swords Were brightly glowing in the blue august moon

The Isolator 03:02
You left me hanging on a speed trap elevator I can see my future, but not for long ‘Cause I’ve been howling at the sun You left a rhinestone on my accelerator So much for “see you later,” won’t you be my doll? My heart is beating like a jungle drum Like a child crying in the morning He comes through like styrofoam And you run quickly and you speak softly You never stop to think about what you do Oh you were the instigator Now you’re the isolator Congratulations to your friend’s dad’s cousin’s sister Don’t you be so bitter, it’s like a song The chef is hiding your stolen gun Your room is empty but your wall’s got a thousand pictures I’m at a loss for words, since you came home The firefighters all wanna know Like a child crying in the morning You end up right back in Rome And you run quickly and you speak softly You never stop to think about what you do Oh you were the instigator Now you’re the isolator

Don’t shoot me Henrietta I know you gotta make a stand I shoulda tried to treat you better But now I’m doing what I can Life was so pedestrian Before you knocked down my front door Got yourself arrested for being against my civil war Every time I get you outta my life you just come back for more Just like your ma and pa Way down in Arkansas You’re drinking from my straw Just don’t shoot me Henrietta I know you gotta make a stand I shoulda tried to treat you better But now I’m doing what I can Then I called you back again While I was watching my TV It took a week for you to send me your teenage fantasy Every time I get you outta my life I lose my sight to see Forget your ma and pa Way down in Arkansas Come take a ride with me Just don’t shoot me Henrietta I know you gotta make a stand I shoulda tried to treat you better But now I’m doing what I can

Some people walk down their lover’s halls unaffected I’m so deflected Line segments and nine unanswered calls go undetected Your mind’s infected Most of the time my love never tells lies And I’m inclined to oblige all her crimes God gave me her very last protein shake It’s got the answer The cure to cancer I guarantee you it will earth your quake If you’re a dancer, a necromancer Most of the time my love never tells lies (As if you wanted to know) And I’m inclined to oblige all her crimes Tin soldiers and Nixon found your stash It’s in your sweater, you could do better God told me that Satan dresses business cas’ He’s out to get her, his Irish setter Most of the time my love never tells lies (As if you wanted to know) And I’m inclined to oblige all her crimes

Please don’t try her, ‘cause she’s your driver And please don’t blame her, ‘cause you can’t attain her Please don’t name her, or try to tame her ‘Cause if you do, she’ll be coming for you And by the look in her eyes you can tell that it’s true If you only knew So please don’t use her, or you’re gonna lose her And don’t forsake her, or you’ll meet your maker Please don’t wake her or try to break her ‘Cause if you do, she’ll be coming for you And by the look in her eyes you can tell that it’s true If you only knew That she sees through all your tears And your lies too She’s seen you all these years Turn in to a fool So please don’t try her, ‘cause she’s your driver And please don’t blame her, ‘cause you can’t attain her Don’t deny her or try to buy her ‘Cause if you do, she’ll be coming for you And by the look in her eyes you can tell that it’s true If you only knew
