Lyrics
There are times they make you choose between
A cudgel and a knife
Can you confirm for me at this time
You've no longer beaten your wife?
You were always asking for more
So what am I, a Bangkok whore?
I'm at home doing the dishes
Give me a sponge and I turn vicious
There were certain things I promised I'd do
Like Saul Bellow, I kept my word to you
More than a little askew
More than you'd have preferred
More than a little removed
More than fit your script
I could pretend to apologize
But why? You always knew I was the prize
I'm your friend and I'm your lover
Give me those clogs, I'll be your mother
You were always asking for less
So wasn't I voted to this congress?
More than a little askew
More than you'd have preferred
More than a little removed
More than fit your script
I was stranded in the center of the divided city
I made my case to the Politburo, I served on the committee
I drifted without anchor, I begged you for a meal
I loved you like a banker, it was always deal or no deal
You don't have to speak, just give me the sign
Like Zimmerman, I'll keep you in mind
More than a little askew
More than you'd have preferred
More than a little removed
More than fit your script
