text: Princess cards she sends me
  With her regards
  Oh, barroom eyes shine vacancy
  To see her you gotta look hard
  Wounded deep in battle
  I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted
  To her cheshire smile, Ill stand on file
  Shes all I ever wanted
  But you let your blue walls get in the way of these facts
  Honey, get your carpetbaggers off my back
  You wouldnt even give me time to cover my tracks
  Youre saying, Heres your mirror and your ball and jack
  But theyre not what I came for
  And Im sure you see that, too
  I came for you, for you, I came for you
  But you did not need my urgency
  I came for you, for you, I came for you
  But your life was one long emergency
  And the cloud line urges me
  My electric surges free
  Climb into my ambulance
  Your pulse is getting weak
  Oh, reveal yourself all now to me, girl
  While you got the chance to speak
  Cause theyre waiting for you at Bellevue
  With their oxygen masks
  I could give it all to you now
  If only you could ask
  But dont call for your surgeon
  Even he says its too late
  Its not your lungs this time
  Its your heart that holds your fate
  Well dont give me my money, honey
  I dont want it back
  You and your pony face
  And your Union Jack
  Well take your local joker
  And teach him how to act
  Cause I swore I was never that way
  Even when I really cracked
  Didnt you think I knew that you were born with the power of a locomotive
  Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound?
  And your Chelsea suicide with no apparent motive
  You could laugh and cry in a single sound, uh-huh, oh-hoh
  And your strength is devastating
  In the face of all these odds
  Remember how I kept you waiting
  When it was my turn to be the god?
  You were not quite half too proud
  When I found you broken on the beach
  Oh, remember how I poured salt on your tongue
  And hung just out of reach?
  And the band, they played the homecoming theme
  As I caressed your cheek
  Oh that ragged, jagged melody
  She still clings to me like a leech
  But that medal you wore on your chest
  Always got in your way
  Like a little girl without a trophy
  So soft to buy her way
  We were both hitchhikers
  But you had your ear tuned to the roar
  Of some metal-tempered engine
  On that alien, distant shore
  And now you left to find a better reason
  Than the one we were living for
  And its not that nursery mouth I came back for
  Its not the way you stretched out on the floor
  Cause Ive broken all your windows
  And Ive rammed through all your doors
  And who am I to tell you to lick my sore?
  And you should see that, too
  I came for you, for you, I came for you
  But you did not need my urgency
  I came for you, for you, I came for you
  But your life was one long emergency
  And the cloud line urges me
  And my electric surges free
