Man And Wife, The Latter (Damaged Goods)

歌詞

I'm growing out my hair like it was when I was single It was longer than I'd known you, I had no money then I had no worries then at all But with such a high standard of living I just feel like I am dying I would start an argument but you can barely even talk But there is always good reason for your silence You have to take care of some business So I fix your plate and I stay out of the way And you will stay like that forever, right in front of your computer You'll look up one day but you won't recognize me So now you want to change You read a letter from a lawyer Want to take me out to dinner Want to bury me under a mound of shopping bags Like it would really make a difference or make up for your disinterest I'm a bill you pay, I'm a contract you can't break And it is like I'm under water or on an endless escalator I just go up and up but I don't ever reach the top And it reads just like the bible, twenty centuries of scandal I guess it all depends on how you interpret it The word is LOVE The word is LOSS The words are DAMAGED GOODS That is what I am A lifetime gets chalked-up to an experience, coincidence We are chained to the events That's it
