Once when I was all alone, 
I called you, and you weren't at home 
My heart fell like a stone, 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, to the ground 

-Chorus- 
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 'til you change your mind 
And you'll change your mind 

I could have broken you, 
I should have spoken for you 
You should have seen it was turning me on 
Don't you know it's true? 
There are worse things, perverse 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 

-Chorus-
