Once when I was all alone,
I called you, and you weren't home,
My heart fell like a stone,
To the ground
To the ground
To the ground
(to the ground,
To the ground,
To the ground)
Why, when morn had dawned on me,
And anger grew like ecstasy,
And leda threw the swan on me
And I fell to the ground
To the ground.
Oh, Don't say I want you,
Don't stay this way
Believe me, I wasn't trying
To play the game
Where someone's to blame
I'll stay the same
'till you change your mind
And you'll change your mind
I could have broken you,
Don't you know it's true?
There are worse things,
Perverse things,
You should answer when the phone rings,
There are worse things I could do.
Once when I was all alone,
I could not find the telephone
So instead I burned your pretty home
To the ground,
To the ground,
To the ground
Oh, don't say I want you,
Don't stay this way,
Believe me, I wasn't trying
To play the game
Where someone's to blame
I'll stay the same
'till you change your mind,
I'll stay the same
'till you change your mind,
And you'll change your mind.
