And you
Were right to bide your time
And not buy into my misery.
Well, the good things are never free.
Do the colors of the rainbow look the same to everyone?
And I
Was wishing round in circles for a reason to believe.
Wipe the slime from off your sleeve.
You could follow me for weeks and I'm not going anywhere.
Sometimes it's hard to love someone
Until the day that they are gone.

And I
Just had a dream the other night.
I was married to the Queen
And Madonna lived next door. I think she took a shine to me.
And the kids were all grown up.
But I had to turn her down 'cause I was still in love with you.
I'm turning Madonna down.
I'm calling it my best move.
I'll get her tickets to what she needs.

And I
Remember doing nothing on the night Sinatra died.
And the night Jeff Buckley died.
And the night Kurt Cobain died.
And the night John Lennon died.
I remember I stayed up
To watch the news with everyone.
And that was a lot of nights.
That was a lot of lives
Who lost the tickets to what they need.

And I
Was busy finding answers while you just got on with real life.
Always hoped you'd be my wife.
But I'd never found the time
For the question to arrive.
I just disguised it in a song.

Songs
Are never quite the answer,
Just a soundtrack to a life.
That is over all too soon.
Helps me turn the days to night
While I was wrong and you were right.
And this was a lesson learned.
I'm happy to be your fool.
And get you tickets to what you need.

[Whistling part (same as above verse)]
I'm turning the lights down low.
Ready to make my move.
I'll get you tickets to what you need.
