Battered, Broken

Jude

Everything had to be exactly as you had planned it


Everything had to be exactly as you desired


The sadness inside you was lost on exactly no one


And there's nothing heroic or stoic in being a mime





Hey little girl is there room inside your world


For a groom without a pearl or a diamond on his mind


Did you think that for a second on the brink


That you could let me take a drink and bet that would not climb inside over my primly pride


Ooh ooh ooh ooh





See you walking down the hall kinda tall isn't like Bacall and


I'm gonna pucker up and blow you right out of the seams of your suits and the


dreams will be roots for the teams in cahoots


My demons loving you


ooh ooh ooh ooh





CHORUS


There is only so much I can give without returne


Maybe a song


Maybe a few


Maybe not


Maybe, finally fuck it and just take a shot


And I battered, broken, barely hoping remade token


I would crawl back to you and say thanks I needed that


It's been a while


ooh ooh ooh ooh





Smoother skinned than most she was and beautiful and just because I thought


I'd be a doomsday gift I place the rift


Callous first and cavalier dropping verses she could hear the sad refrain


ooh ooh ooh ooh





CHORUS





I'm gonna grope I'm gonna grasp


'Cause I must


It's my rope and my asp and my doom for my lusting of you


Throw me a thin spider line, I'll be fine as I'll climb the mine to my divine





CHORUS
