I sit here all alone And i'm feeling green I press play on your Goddamn phone machine His nasal whine Follows me through the door His teeth are so nice They'd look good on the floor You should've told me They should've told me Christ, you should've told me after all those years i spent Praying to you on my knees in my room back in palm springs Yeah, yeah, yeah Mmm-mmm I pull your letter box From beneath your bed And i look through the letters And all the lies he said 'bout how he would taste you and tempt you and tease you And twist you around like a circus balloon Heal you, feel you And take your a** out to the zoo You should've told me They should've told me Christ, you should've told me after all those years i spent Praying to you on my knees in my room back in palm springs Yeah, yeah, yeah Mmm-mmm I follow you Down to the banks of the river I pull my razor From my boot as i shiver
You turn around and "hey, it's a beautiful night" I hold the razor To your neck in the pale moonlight You should've told me They should've told me Christ, you should've told me after all those years i spent Praying to you on my knees in my room back in palm springs Yeah, yeah, yeah Mmm-mmm Morning comes And the sun it hurts my eyes I've long stopped hearing The sound of your muffled cries The water is pink And it moves with the tide Don't worry, honey I'm right here by your side You should've told me They should've told me Christ, you should've told me after all those years i spent Praying to you on my knees in my room back in palm springs Yeah, you should've told me They should've told me Christ, you should've told me after all those years i spent Praying to you on my knees in my room back in palm springs This can't be heaven Must've took a wrong turn 'cause it sure feels like hell
