The Sting

[Verse 1] Apathetic Half-pathetic I was thirsty so I drank a lot If you see nothing you should say nothing I see clearly, so I said too much What the hell is wrong with me Apart from what the doctor sees? Waiting in the hospital lot My golden receiver [Chorus] Though I’d like to say yes to the talk of the town I st-st-stammer all my glamour I won’t live this down You don’t know the guts it took just to show up here You don’t know how I’d like to say yes [Verse 2] Got a new sting in the same old spot Feeling lethal, so I bit my tongue Easy baking, the swarm comes in I’m drinking, so I rang you up Golden receiver again Blush ‘cuz I’m guilty again Minced the proceedings again My golden receiver [Chorus] Though I’d like to say yes to the talk of the town I st-st-stammer all my glamour I won’t live this down You don’t know the guts it took just to show up here You don’t know how I'd like to say yes [Bridge] And whether or not you seem open to my honesty I scan the headlines and I clip the best for you 'Cuz love is in the news and that means love has got a history Without exception you had best believe historically It’s twice a hornet stings [Outro] Here comes the sting Here comes the sting Here comes the sting Here comes the sting My golden receiver
