As we were talking outside
We were shivering, yet warmed by the subject matter
My wife is in the next room
We've been having troubles you know
Please don't tell her or anyone
But I need to talk to somebody
You said, wouldn't it be a shame if I knew how great I was
Five minutes before I died? I'd be filled with such regret
Before I took my last breath
And I said, you're willing to tell me this now
And you're not going to die
And I said, I haven't been eating chicken
But you've been wearing leather
We're at the top of the food chain
And yes, you're still a fine woman
I was hoping we could heal each other
I was hoping we could be raw together
Where the head waiter in his 60s, said
Goodbye, sir, thank you for your business sir
You're successful and established, sir
We like the frequency with which you dine here, sir
And when I walked by, they said thank you too, dear
I was all pigtails and cords
And there was a day when I would've said something like
Hey dude, I could buy and sell this place, so kiss it
I too once thought I was owed something
I was hoping we could challenge each other
I was hoping we could crack each other up
I too thought that when proved wrong, I lost somehow
I too once thought life was cruel
You think I'm withdrawing and guilt tripping you
I think you're insensitive and I don't feel heard
(And I said do you believe we are)
Fundamentally judgmental?
I said, I don't believe in revenge
In right or wrong, good or bad
You said well, what about the man that I saw
Handcuffed in the emergency room
Bleeding after beating his kid
And she threw a shoe at his head
And I think what he did was wrong
And I would've have had a hard time feeling
I had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judged
I was hoping we could dance together
I was hoping we could be creamy together
