Laughable Tragedy Songtext
He never wanted me,
He sang my songs,
In that old blue thinking cap,
He cried into his bourbon,
And I held his hand,
But he never wanted me,
He never wanted me,
We walked by the rainy river,
I trembled every time,
He air-conducted Mahler,
He touched his arm to mine,
But he never wanted me,

So I ran across the sea,
To sunny California,
Where the skies are always blue,
Where tears don't last for long,
Cause we got plastic smiles in our pockets,
And I'm gonna have one tattooed,
Unto my lips as a reminder,
To remember: never trust anyone,
Who's too fond of Mahler,
And my face is twisted,
From thinking too much,
Of this laughable tragedy,

She said she was my friend,
I nurtured her like a wounded bird,
So blonde, so fragile,
She came back from Germany,
And she made him smile,
She said she was my friend,
Mmh, she said she was my friend,
But she walked away with him,
Left me speechless,
She said, "Well, he's beautiful,"
And I said, "Yes,"
She said she was my friend,

So I ran across the sea,
To sunny California,
Where the skies are always blue,
Where tears don't last for long,
Cause we got plastic smiles in out pockets,
And I'm gonna have one tattooed,
Unto my lips as a reminder,
To remember: never trust anyone,
With blonde hair, and skylights,
And my face is twisted,
From thinking too much,
Of this laughable tragedy,

When I was young,
I wasted all my time,
Dancing with shadows,
Teaching injured birds to fly,

So I ran across the sea,
To sunny California,
Where the skies are always blue,
Where tears don't last for long,
Cause we got plastic smiles in our pockets,
And I'm gonna have one tattooed,
Unto my lips as a reminder,
To remember: never trust anyone,
Who's too fond of Mahler,
With blonde hair and skylights,
And my face is twisted,
From thinking too much,
Of this laughable tragedy,
My face is twisted,
From thinking too much,
Of this laughable tragedy...
