Triptych (NPR Tiny Desk Version)

[Verse 1]

Keeping you awake, keeping you awake on purpose

Hey, did I make a mistake and do my mistakes worsen?

I would give it up to every man I love

I take what I can get

And every woman too, I would too

That's my only secret left

[Pre-Chorus]

I will entertain your feet or your hands for a triptych

Sell me at the Strand on the stands for a fat brick

I get what I want, and your girlfriend too

Make a predator of me

[Chorus]

I'll be good to you

(I'm worth it)

(I'm worth it)

[Verse 2]

So before I turn it off, little light at my bedstand

Ask me what I thought of the life that I led and

I'll take off your pants, say goodnight to the ears there

Put you where I sing in the light in the damp air

[Chorus]

And I'll be good to you

I'll be good to you

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

I'm the moving mouth, moving mouth with my eyes closed

Breathing an excuse, breathing loose through my new nose

I will buy a round on your dime like I used to

Feeding you my cake, you my cake, eating it too

[Chorus]

I'll be good to you

I'll be good to you
