Remember to wave at the motorcade
As the women we loved drive away
They're bricks in the arc
And they've always been all you have left to defend
You'll melt by the fireplace
And you'll freeze by the door
Revisiting past mistakes
You deserved so much more
But oh dear great harlequin, did you catch any keepers?
Did the weight of your silver tongue turn them into believers?
What went wrong? What went wrong? What went wrong?
Who is that square-jawed warrior?
And why is he calling our name?
Give up the fate of the carpenter
Who could never live off the rain
You've got it all figured out
You're just misunderstood
You took what was owed to you
And you used it for good
But oh dear great harlequin, did you forget the fevers?
The weight of your silver tongue, oh, it just made your teeth hurt
What went wrong? What wen't wrong? What went wrong?
