Delilah Songtext

Delilah

There's no end
To the love
You can give
When you change your point of view
To underfoot
Very good
You may be flat but you're breathing

And there's no doubt
He's at home
In his room
Probably watching porn of you
From the fall
It's last call
And you're the last one leaving

And you thought you could change the world
By opening your legs
Well it isn't very hard
Try kicking them instead
And you thought you could change his mind
By changing your perfume
To the kind his Mother wore
Oh god, Delilah why?
I never met a more impossible girl....

In this same bar
Where you slammed
Down your hand
And said “Amanda, I'm in love”
No, you're not
You're just a suck-
Er for the ones who use you
And it doesn't matter what I say or do
The stupid bastard's gonna have his way with you...

You're an unrescuable schizo
Or else you're on the rag
And if you take him back
I'm gonna lose my nerve
I never met a more impossible girl....

At four o'clock
He got off
And you called up
“I'm down at Denny's on route one
And you won't guess
What he's done”
Is that a fact, Delilah?
Larry tap
Let you in
Through the back
And use his calling card again
For a quick
Hand of gin

You are impossible, Delilah: the princess of denial
And after 7 years in advertising you are none the wiser

You're an unrescuable schizo
Or else you're on the rag
And if you take him back
I'm gonna lose my nerve
He's gonna beat you like a pillow
You schizos never learn
And if you take him home
You'll get what you deserve
I never met a more impossible girl....

So don't cry delilah
You're still alive Delilah
You need a ride Delilah?
Let's see how fast this thing can go....
