Youâ??re so devil-may-care
Like you thought you could barely
Spare me.

Youâ??re in sync with the signs,
With the craziest times, please,
Spare me.

Now you feel so confused
By the pleasures I choose,
Youâ??d love to spare me.

Keep me bound and possessed,
Keep the knife in my chest,
Oh wonâ??t you, spare me!

You said some gorgeous things,
But only half the time,
Only half the time.

I lived your gorgeous dream,
For only half a life,
Only half a life.

Only half a life.
Only half a life.
Pre-Columbian steel

Cuts so hard and so deeply,
Spare me.
Geographically tied

To some place you canâ??t find, please,
Spare me.
All these verses fall flat

Like a stone in a hat,
Oh wonâ??t you spare me?
Sell your soul for a fee

To the dull bourgeoisie?
Come on now, spare me!
You said some gorgeous things,

But only half the time,
Only half the time.
I lived your gorgeous dream,

For only half a life,
Only half a life.
Only half a life.

Only half a life.
