lyrics
Swallows met me at the threshold
I let the sunrise in:
Last night I slept unsoundly
Had that awful dream again
The one where all my skeletons
And every line I’ve bought
Come running after me:
I try to flee, but I cannot
O, Darling, they were hot-on-my-heels
In a wave of indignation
I offered my most ardent appeals
But they craved remuneration
What can you do but sigh?
What can you do but sigh?
The shadows overtake me
The swallows flit away
Replaced by apparitions
In a ghastly shade of grey:
Impetuous investments
The swindler on the street
The endless repercussions
Of the terms I couldn’t meet
No, really, it was not in the plan
But I’m prone to deviation
Glad-handing every confidence man
Who gives me a demonstration
What can you do but sigh?
What can you do but sigh?
I’m easily distracted
And given to digress
I’m wont to say I’m sorry
But I don’t want to confess
No matter how you treat me
Or how freely you repeat
The promise of reprieve
Well, I’d sooner take the heat
I’d sooner take the heat
What can you do but sigh?
What can you do but sigh?
I let the sunrise in:
Last night I slept unsoundly
Had that awful dream again
The one where all my skeletons
And every line I’ve bought
Come running after me:
I try to flee, but I cannot
O, Darling, they were hot-on-my-heels
In a wave of indignation
I offered my most ardent appeals
But they craved remuneration
What can you do but sigh?
What can you do but sigh?
The shadows overtake me
The swallows flit away
Replaced by apparitions
In a ghastly shade of grey:
Impetuous investments
The swindler on the street
The endless repercussions
Of the terms I couldn’t meet
No, really, it was not in the plan
But I’m prone to deviation
Glad-handing every confidence man
Who gives me a demonstration
What can you do but sigh?
What can you do but sigh?
I’m easily distracted
And given to digress
I’m wont to say I’m sorry
But I don’t want to confess
No matter how you treat me
Or how freely you repeat
The promise of reprieve
Well, I’d sooner take the heat
I’d sooner take the heat
What can you do but sigh?
What can you do but sigh?
