You pin the medals to your chest

and settle down for seven minutes rest

you dim the lights, administer the cure

you tried it several times, you're still not sure


you take the first one for free

and pass it on to me

i don't refuse

baby, if you only knew

but i don't think you do


you take the lines from ordinary books

you're disappointed in the way she looks

you cut the circulation to your hand

and calculate the motion of the land


then you, fall back asleep

and wander down the street that loses you

don't say you feel the same way too

honey, i don't think you do


you cut the worms and bait them on the hooks

you cast a line towards the closest brooks

you meet the girl who says she knows the plan

you act impressed and say you understand

'cause you, like to believe, that all that love is free

oh, someone like you, will never be lonely, or not go through

but darlin', it's not true
