Tragedy Lyrics
I think I won the fools award today
The way I made my baby cry
I cant believe the stupid things I say
Without one good reason why
I know that life has got its ups and downs
I could take whatever comes around
But if you ever take your love from me
Now that would be the tragedy
The game of love it comes so easily
I thought we'd never have to hide
And all this hurtin' just ain't pleasin' me
Now its washed up in the tide
Now you can hit me with the wreckin' ball
Throw me down the stairs and watch me fall
But if you ever take your love from me
Now that would be the tragedy
Loves so mysterious
It always twists and it bends
Oh did I get my goodbye kiss
Are you telling me this is the end?
We'll watch the candle and its burning low
And I just cant walk away
I got so much inside for you to know baby
But that's the price I gotta pay
I know you want to see me back again
Just to tell me this is the end
But if you never come back to me
Now that would be the tragedy
See it burned a hole in me
A living breathing tragedy
MC, enjoy!
The way I made my baby cry
I cant believe the stupid things I say
Without one good reason why
I know that life has got its ups and downs
I could take whatever comes around
But if you ever take your love from me
Now that would be the tragedy
I thought we'd never have to hide
And all this hurtin' just ain't pleasin' me
Now its washed up in the tide
Throw me down the stairs and watch me fall
But if you ever take your love from me
Now that would be the tragedy
It always twists and it bends
Oh did I get my goodbye kiss
Are you telling me this is the end?
And I just cant walk away
I got so much inside for you to know baby
But that's the price I gotta pay
Just to tell me this is the end
But if you never come back to me
Now that would be the tragedy
See it burned a hole in me
A living breathing tragedy

Peter Wolf is obscure. This has to be one of his best songs and one of the best songs that nearly everybody has not heard. This song is about heartbreak and regret (like many of his songs) and the use of a country singer's vocals to counter Peter's is just fantastic in this song.
