Joey Cape - Violins (and Tony Sly) Lyrics

I am just another fool
And I have to keep telling myself that
I am just a hypocrite
And I have to keep calling you one.
Cause I forgot to bite my tongue
And my assumption;
It is the mother of all mistakes.
But I assume the role,
Open my mouth and clumsy words escape.

So why ya, wanna be there, when you could be here... you are slipping away.

I awake to your replacement
A bottle in my mouth...
In an unfamiliar place.
Cause you put me out.
The butt of a sick joke
Into this ashtray life
As you come and go.
Cause I forgot to service you
And we broke down
And you can't live with my mistakes.
But I assume false grace,
Open my arms... and grasp for something true

How are you? How have you been?
Girl I miss you... wanna see you again
Oh, why ya, wanna be there, when you could be here...
You are slipping away.

I bring out the worst in you
And you try to let me know.
You bring out the worst in me
Anxiety... anxiety.
I'm trying hard to let you go, but
You say I'm giving you the creeps.
But I assume the role,
Open my claws and grasp for your heart.

How are you? How have you been?
Girl I miss you... wanna kill you again.
Into you... like a mortal stake, so vindictive...
Your love's slipping away
