Stand Up Tragedy (Acoustic)

Pardon me sugar I’m the man underneath your thumb

But I won’t take your violence and I won’t chew your bubblegum

White heat, indiscreet, any day now obsolete

Though you’ve seen your best days

I'll still walk down your empty street

Well you look like salvation but you taste like a refugee

Well you say you got no soul but you look like you do to me

And if I was the melody you were the symphony

Honey loving you took the very best of me

I don’t need your red wine covered sympathy

Just another punch line in your stand up tragedy

Well I’ve been pushing up daisies just to catch a glimpse of something real

When I see you coming might just as well give up and kneel

Came, saw, broke your law, anyday now I'll withdraw

I chewed on your intention just to dislocate my jaw

Well if you saw me broken would you put me out my misery

Well I don’t do handsome and you don’t do sympathy

If I was the melody you were the symphony

Honey loving you took the very best of me

I don’t need your red wine covered sympathy

Just another punchline in your stand up tragedy

Wrong from the get go, let it slide

Tell them what they don’t know

Sing those praises far and wide

Eat those peaches, ring them bells

Mama don’t know what she preaches

But she sure looks dignified

But she sure looks dignified

But she sure looks dignified

And if I was the melody you were the symphony

Honey loving you took the very best of me

I don’t need your red wine covered sympathy

Just another punchline in your stand up tragedy

Take my hungry guarantee

I could be your slave if you’d only beg for me

I don’t need your red wine covered sympathy

Just another punchline in your

Stand up, sit down, lie back, turn round, play dead for me

Stand up tragedy
