1. I’ve always been sensitive, you know what I mean?
I’ve always ascribed meaning to the things that I dream
I can hear those sirens crying
The scream of living and the dying
You hit me so hard I’m lost somewhere along the kitchen floor
If the ambulance gets here they’ll pull me up to the shore
I know that you love me
Because you told me so
I know that I love you
Because you told me so
With a rickety voice I ask “why’s the ambulance so slow”
You smile at me and say that it’s all part of the show
2. Your strong arms hold me and keep me held in love
You’ve always been faithful… well, sort of
You’re my god and my messiah
And though they tell me you are a liar
I won’t swallow bitter wisdom for I know that you’re my man
I’ve known you are who you are ever since our love began
You make me suffer
You make me over
And I want to suffer
And I want to be over
I don’t care what they tell me or what they say they know
I just smile at them and tell them it’s all part of the show
3. I’m standing here upon the stage for your women and your men
I’ll practice every night until we make love again
I want to be broken
pin me down and pull me open
but the bruises of artistic thrills are beginning to show
will you even remember this in another year or so
I want you to hurt me more than you want to hurt me
I want to be loved more than you want to hurt me
I want you to want it more than you want to hurt me
I want you to want to…
And when the roles reverse with you on top and me below
I’ll look up and with a smile I’ll say: it’s all part of the show
