Evelyn McHale (Reprise) Lyrics
Alas, we never stood a chance
Bedsit solipsistic misfits
We petulant pains in the ass
Dreams like this, they're just not built to last
The breast-fed & too well-fed
Left we two completely out-classed
We gave this the best years of our lives
& truth is, with all due deference
I can't see why we'd be surprised
"This kid can't sing to save his life...
Too stiff & dead pretentious"
I bet you get this all the time
Forgive this casual aside
& with it this filthy witness
That I so love to hide behind
Come now kid, don't look so surprised
The truth is, these thighs I ply
Tend to wait for the whites of your eyes
Oh no, there I've said it again
& I'm fine to serve my time
For libelous rhymes I've since spread
Some things are better left unsaid
You've had your fun, but surely son
No one's holding a gun to your head
How long must we be strung along?
False starts & broken hearts
I suppose that you've known all along
Where did we ever go so wrong?
My voice is shot, but I'll sing to the lot
God give me strength to go on
Bedsit solipsistic misfits
We petulant pains in the ass
Dreams like this, they're just not built to last
The breast-fed & too well-fed
Left we two completely out-classed
& truth is, with all due deference
I can't see why we'd be surprised
"This kid can't sing to save his life...
Too stiff & dead pretentious"
I bet you get this all the time
& with it this filthy witness
That I so love to hide behind
Come now kid, don't look so surprised
The truth is, these thighs I ply
Tend to wait for the whites of your eyes
& I'm fine to serve my time
For libelous rhymes I've since spread
Some things are better left unsaid
You've had your fun, but surely son
No one's holding a gun to your head
False starts & broken hearts
I suppose that you've known all along
Where did we ever go so wrong?
My voice is shot, but I'll sing to the lot
God give me strength to go on
