lyrics
you're a spendthrift
you're a charlatan
you had me at goodbye
and i think you made me crazy
for the rest of my life
i think you must be mental
but your delivery shines
in film school you're a prodigy
you attend your lectures high
hiding boxes of wine
so elegant and refined
so while you dispense your
inebriated smiles
at parties where the jargon
turns you off
i'll laze about and drown myself
in spirits so divine
and ask myself is this the life?
to the blue-collars
you are the gospel
you whet their appetites
and for them you must oblige
you're elegant in disguise
so where does that leave me
i'm just staring at the ceiling
hoping for your phone call
if i knew what you did nightly
i have a feeling that i'd die
you're a charlatan
you had me at goodbye
and i think you made me crazy
for the rest of my life
i think you must be mental
but your delivery shines
in film school you're a prodigy
you attend your lectures high
hiding boxes of wine
so elegant and refined
so while you dispense your
inebriated smiles
at parties where the jargon
turns you off
i'll laze about and drown myself
in spirits so divine
and ask myself is this the life?
to the blue-collars
you are the gospel
you whet their appetites
and for them you must oblige
you're elegant in disguise
so where does that leave me
i'm just staring at the ceiling
hoping for your phone call
if i knew what you did nightly
i have a feeling that i'd die
