Letra Parasite Friends - Riverboat Gamblers

Parasite Friends

Can I get a minute to recover
And then I’ll take another and pretend that I’m caught off guard
By your comment though I knew when I saw it from a mile away
Left field flying at me
You saw me I was standing there
Under bold type letters reading «buyer beware»
I care, just not enough to stand by your side
Check the fine print, I never lied
I think you should meet my shrink
I think the two of you can compare notes
And then please get back to me
The logic’s sound, but its still a little primitive
To bash my ear in thinking that my heart will give
I don’t need a reprieve cause I didn’t deceive
All along I said to you
What are you waiting for?
A dotted line on my neck to cut me off?
If you’re not having, not having any fun
Nobody’s holding a gun to your head
Making promises
Or sweeping proclamations
Formal declarations
Nobody wins
But nobody’s dead
Parasite friends
What are you waiting for?
A dotted line on my neck to cut me off?
