It's started to come to me | |
Your new career would probably end like this | |
All that professional lipstick pressed into an amateur kiss | |
Farewell to the studied lines and carefully broken hearts | |
The overpowering perfume and the glimpse of her garter | |
Mingling with the sweet smoldering scent of the martyr | |
Well it's starting to come to me (come to me, come to me) | |
Starting to come to me | |
So you began to recognize the well-dressed man that everybody loves | |
It started when you chopped off all the fingers of those pony skin gloves | |
Then you cut a hole out where the lovelight used to shine | |
Your tears of pleasure equal measure crocodile and brine | |
You try to laugh it off saying "I knew all the time... | |
But it's starting to come to me" (come to me, come to me) | |
Starting to come to me | |
Sometimes you bring me down to play reluctant confidant | |
You say you may reward him if he gives you what you want | |
But these are days to treasure and to hold | |
They are much too precious to be sold | |
You'd probably play the pirate if you weren't so busy digging up the gold | |
Now you could tell he wanted you 'cause you almost taste it on his breath | |
But you always cheated life just like the bold dare-devil cheated death | |
Incidentally, late last night your understudy finally got what you deserve | |
In private she's seductive but in public she's prim, porcelain and nervous | |
Afraid someone will recognize the shame in her eyes | |
You've still got your dignity or the next best disguise | |
You never know when to say no and when to compromise | |
But it's starting to come to me (come to me, come to me) | |
Starting to come to me (come to me, come to me) | |
Starting to come to me |
