lyrics

Dear Sir, We wish to inform you
That the last date
To pay your tax is through
Now you have to wait
For your inevitable fate
And all we want
Is all you’ve got
Is that so much to ask?

Where are you my number man
I thought you knew the bigger plan
The way you make those figures dance
A mystery ballet a calculated romance
You spoke so eloquently
I know, I know, you’re so sorry for me…

Oh lady, Won’t you reconsider
This is the last time
I promise forever
Can we try another rhyme
I’m sure it is no crime
And all you want
Is all I had
Is that so much to ask?

Where are you my mystic friend
Are you reading another strange godsend
The way you drew those pentagrams
The sun and the stars were your anagrams
You threw some magic dust
And promised us bites of the upper crust
I know, I know, you’re so sorry for me…

Dear Lord, Do you really listen
To bruised knees
And donations I have given
Is there some larger fee
To get your blessed decree
And all you want
Is all I am
Is that too much to ask?

Where are you my holy brother
Is it another sheep that you deliver
The way you twist that guilty knife
In my greedy guts and my sorry life
I thought you were heaven sent
And now I really do repent
And I know, I know, you’re so sorry for me…
