[Verse 1]
You started life in the golden sun
Made a fool of everyone
Built a shelter inside my heart
Ran away when your faith was gone
But you never changed in the world I see
Only made a fool of love with me
Take it on the chin again, one day they’ll see
With each thread you’re pulling out
You’re standing still somehow
[Chorus]
But you don’t have the rope to pull yourself together now
Together now
Together now
Together now
[Verse 2]
I found you in the gutter, street corner
In my book as lover
See: Former
So it’s appropriate that I leave you for the coroner
Smoking dope again but I’m adoring the way your teeth grill
Cheap thrills left their mark, no doubt
But this is what I’m about, seeing you suffer
Washing out your mouth, blasphemy
Mi casa, mi casa
You’re asking me nicely now but I still say no
Call yourself a lady, but I still say
“American sh*t stain with an arrogance-kissed brain”
Man on the moon, video, stereo, diamonds too
What’s a guy to do when I owe God my whole life to you?
Wrote it out, even typed it too
Just to make sure I didn’t sound like you
No fire, no light
No light,
no fire, backseat driver
I said I knew where we’re going
I’m a liar
[Chorus]
But you don’t have the rope to pull yourself together now
Together now
Together now
Together now
[Chorus]
But you don’t have the rope to pull yourself together now
Together now
Together now
Together now
