Last night I broke it off; I don't know where my head was at
Somewhere back along that lonely road
I absconded with my heart; I'll expiate my impunity

And turn myself in to be tried in accordance with the law

I never meant to do you wrong, but I fear our love was ephemeral

Just a parody, kept going strong
Now an apostate I will sing this evanescent eulogy
To our parody, before I'm tried in accordance with the law


Oh our apogee proved transient you see
This tortuous road I walk becomes desultory

And as our apogee gives way to eulogy
I place myself on trial


Leave false decorum at the door; You know who should be standing here
It sure as hell ain't me who should be tried in accordance with the law
