Listen baby to what I say
You only want what you've thrown away
Broken tables, you're unstable

(Looks like someone has won)
These pirate games
(I'm loading up your gun)
I'm ready to take all the blame
(But still I play along)
While sinking in sand I find
But no, I am not moving
This checkmate is the last time

(It's just how high you climb)
There's ivory in this spine
(Be cleaning up tomorrow)
Keeping what you've left behind
(You need a little faith to shine)
To know the sun will set
It will be dark by eight
And winter's as cold as it gets

Wanna make you hear
Gotta walk away
Wanna make you dance
Gotta move this way
Wanna hear you breathe
Without a doubt
Wanna make you sing
Wanna make you shout

Listen baby to what I say
You only want what you've thrown away
Broken tables, you're unstable

Listen honey, listen well
I'm only yours soon as you get well
You're designer, nothing finer, no

(No, I'm not in denial)
I see my violins
(It's taking you awhile)
Watching all this soaking in
(Was never made of tin)
Can't keep it up no more
But like it's always been
I'm sleeping underneath your door

Gonna stop my heart
It's running wild
I gotta tie a knot
No, I ain't no child

Listen baby to what I say
You only want what you've thrown away
Broken tables, you're unstable

Listen closer, ear to a can
I'm only here under your command
Got three wishes, clean your dishes
Oh, yeah
Oh, no

I don't mind that, baby
No, I don't mind that lately
If you're coming my way
I don't mind, no, I don't mind

I don't mind that, baby
I don't mind that lately
If you're coming my way
I don't mind, I don't mind

Listen baby to what I say
You only want what you've thrown away
Broken tables, you're unstable

Listen honey, listen well
I'm only yours soon as you get well
You're designer, nothing finer
Nothing finer, no
Oh, no
Oh, mmm
