Lyrics
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen
I have a story to tell you
Of one slow decline
Where a girl yanked on the strings
To break this man's heart
Oh lord, I think I deserve a little better than this
I think I've earned it
So I'll just keep humming this song and hope you follow.
Turn me over, roll me 'round
To find the truth that I don't want found
Oh, don't believe everything you hear
I'm the snake waiting for you, dear
And eventually you'll come to me
I know you will.
Oh, I know you will.
Your lipstick crazy, I make my pass
The drink turns over, the glass smashed
And with the kindness and my smarts,
I replace your pleasure with a friend at the bottom
Turn me over, roll me 'round
To find the truth that I don't want found
Oh, don't believe everything you hear
I'm the snake waiting for you, dear
And eventually you'll come to me
I know you will.
Oh, it's my fate to be your biggest mistake
Oh, I'll tell you all you want to hear until you sleep
I know you will...
Oh, goodnight
Oh, Goodnight, Fair Lady.
Turn me over, roll me 'round
To find the truth that I don't want found
Oh, don't believe everything you hear
I'm the snake waiting for you, dear
And eventually you'll come to me
I know you will.
And eventually you'll come to me
And eventually you'll come to me
We can agree to disagree
Well maybe that was you then, and now this is me
Eventually you'll come to me, baby
I know you will.
