lyrics
Oracular utterances, glasses of beer
Cups of coffee to make it clear
Taking it very slowly, holding my head
Hanging on by a golden thread
Good gracious, my darling, what can I do?
Haven’t I space enough for two?
And where are my manners? I’ve taken your praise
Laid you bare with my turns-of-phrase
You know it’s not exactly
All it was cracked up to be
In fact, it’s really less than nothing:
You’re running a deficit, honey – you’re running a deficit, honey
In the tenuous rhythm, the tremulous hum
Of a strained consortium
You’re itching for movement, the critical mass
The slightest shift in the impasse
You know it’s not exactly
All it was cracked up to be
In fact, it’s really less than nothing:
You’re running a deficit, honey – you’re running a deficit, honey
Swifts in the sunlight, sixty degrees
Dulcet winds through the rustling trees
I’ve sought for perfection, the best I can get
Is to sit here hoping you won’t leave—not just yet
‘Cause the truth is awfully brutal
I’ll probably never be suitable--
Suitable for you
You know it’s not exactly
All it was cracked up to be
In fact, it’s really less than nothing:
You’re running a deficit, honey – you’re running a deficit, honey
Cups of coffee to make it clear
Taking it very slowly, holding my head
Hanging on by a golden thread
Good gracious, my darling, what can I do?
Haven’t I space enough for two?
And where are my manners? I’ve taken your praise
Laid you bare with my turns-of-phrase
You know it’s not exactly
All it was cracked up to be
In fact, it’s really less than nothing:
You’re running a deficit, honey – you’re running a deficit, honey
In the tenuous rhythm, the tremulous hum
Of a strained consortium
You’re itching for movement, the critical mass
The slightest shift in the impasse
You know it’s not exactly
All it was cracked up to be
In fact, it’s really less than nothing:
You’re running a deficit, honey – you’re running a deficit, honey
Swifts in the sunlight, sixty degrees
Dulcet winds through the rustling trees
I’ve sought for perfection, the best I can get
Is to sit here hoping you won’t leave—not just yet
‘Cause the truth is awfully brutal
I’ll probably never be suitable--
Suitable for you
You know it’s not exactly
All it was cracked up to be
In fact, it’s really less than nothing:
You’re running a deficit, honey – you’re running a deficit, honey
