lyrics

I met you in the society pages in the help wanted section
You wanted a man who could pay your bills and also give affection
I started as a pauper but I ended as a prince
And I've moved on but you've been looking back ever since

You had a way of turning all my pleasures into pain
You stood out there shivering like Aphrodite in the rain
You acted like the queen mum drinking royal majesty
Buttered scones with i can't believe it's not blasphemy

maybe it's because i haven't been around the block enough for your liking
maybe it's because i haven't given enough oil for you to keep striking
maybe it's because you want me to be heard and not seen
maybe it's because i'm the joker to your mighty queen
maybe it's because i'm the only one who knows you well
maybe it's because i'm the only one who's seen your hell

You wanted to shield me from reality on the evening news
But I didn't start off with enough innocence to lose
I'm not a bad man but I'm not running for the Pope
So I don't see the need for you to wash out my mouth with soap

I always got so drunk off your food for thought
Every phrase you said was like another shot
With every conversation I get a little more queasy
Ain't there some law that prohibits you to speak easy?

maybe it's because i haven't been around the block enough for your liking
maybe it's because i haven't given enough oil for you to keep striking
maybe it's because you want me to be heard and not seen
maybe it's because i'm the joker to your mighty queen
maybe it's because i'm the only one who knows you well
maybe it's because i'm the only one who's seen your hell
