La Matanza by Grace Gale Lyrics
I see you standing over there alone
Crying on the telephone
I'm sure its safe to say you've seen your better days...
You must have heard what everyone said
But don't you let it go to your head
The backseat is just a luxury you could not afford
Because everyone has figured you out...
So think before you open your mouth...
The next words you say could incriminate & leave a chance for them to burn you at the stake
So sit back and relax, chew up the scenery
Let the people see what you wanted them to believe
Because I don't care if you sink or if your ship wrecks
I will only assume it was because of me...
So don't hold your breath...
(An apology is not something I would expect)
Don't take that step
(Don't cross that line there might not be anything left)
You might lower your standards for a night or two
Your best excuse is there was nothing left to do
You were so desperate and dried out that one kiss is all it took to ignite the fuse...
Now that I've got your attention
With a simple slide of hand and the honest intention to
To make you fall
Here's to the idea of living through it all...
SO QUIET NOW...
DON'T SAY A WORD...
This will all be over soon if I don't get my medicine
Then you can phone the doctor and tell him what a mess I've been....
As you wake up on the bathroom floor nothing could've mattered more than finding your way back home...
So brush your knees and quietly leave, don't promise me you won't promise me anything..
(an apology is not something I would accept) expect...
AN APOLOGY IS NOT SOMETHING I COULD DO
Crying on the telephone
I'm sure its safe to say you've seen your better days...
You must have heard what everyone said
But don't you let it go to your head
The backseat is just a luxury you could not afford
Because everyone has figured you out...
So think before you open your mouth...
The next words you say could incriminate & leave a chance for them to burn you at the stake
So sit back and relax, chew up the scenery
Let the people see what you wanted them to believe
Because I don't care if you sink or if your ship wrecks
I will only assume it was because of me...
So don't hold your breath...
(An apology is not something I would expect)
Don't take that step
(Don't cross that line there might not be anything left)
You might lower your standards for a night or two
Your best excuse is there was nothing left to do
You were so desperate and dried out that one kiss is all it took to ignite the fuse...
Now that I've got your attention
With a simple slide of hand and the honest intention to
To make you fall
Here's to the idea of living through it all...
