Goodnight, Fair Lady

(album: The Afterman: Ascension - 2012)

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen
I have a story to tell you, of one's slow decline
When a girl yanked on the strings to break this man's heart

Oh lord I think I deserve a little better than this
I think I've earned it
So I'll just keep humming this song and hope you follow

Turn me over, roll me 'round
To find the truth that I don't want found
Oh, don't believe everything you hear
I'm the snake waiting for you, dear
And eventually you'll come to me
I know you will

Oh, I know you will

You're lipstick crazy, I'll make my pass
The drink turns over, the glass smashed
And with a kindness and my smarts I replaced your pleasure
With a friend at the bottom

Turn me over, roll me 'round
To find the truth that I don't want found
Oh, don't believe everything you hear
I'm the snake waiting for you, dear
And eventually you'll come to me
I know you will

Oh, it's my fate to be your biggest mistake
Oh, I tell you all you want to hear until you sleep
I know you will

Oh, goodnight
Oh, goodnight, fair lady

Oh, turn me over, roll me 'round
To find the truth that I don't want found
Oh, don't believe everything you hear
I'm the snake waiting for you, dear
And eventually you'll come to me
And eventually you'll come to me

Oh, we can agree to disagree
Well maybe that was you, then, and now this is me
Eventually you'll come to me, baby
I know you will
