With your flowers and your frowns
And your feelings draping down
You'd make a lovely funeral
And I'll give you what you need
But you treat my noble deed
Like some amazing miracle
Hey, Amelia, can't you see I'm listening?
Huddled in the corner, plain as day
Well, I'm waiting for your cross-examination
Cut me open, tell me what to say
Cut me open, tell me what to say
All right
Come on
I'm waiting
Well, I remember you in blue
And in green and turquiose, too
But you gravitate to black
And it's no wonder
That I thought that I could save you
With this red balloon I gave you
But I lost it in the cold, gray cloud you're under
Hey, Amelia, can't you see I'm listening?
Huddled in the corner, plain as day
Well, I'm waiting for your cross-examination
Cut me open, tell me what to say
Cut me open, tell me what to say
And everyone is waiting in the car
Every woman's half the woman that you think you are
And every man is sitting at the bar
With his heart out for the taking
And every hope of making you a star
So, baby, can't you talk
Take up your staff and walk
Out from your bargain basement?
If you've left behind your man
Can't you take me as I am
To dry your eyes and compromise
And act as his replacement?
Hey, Amelia, can't you see I'm listening?
I'm huddled in the corner, plain as day
Well, I'm waiting for your cross-examination
Cut me open, tell me what to say
Cut me open, tell me what to say
Cut me open, tell me what to say
Cut me open, tell me what to say
All right
Come on
I'm waiting
Waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
With your flowers and your frowns
And your feelings draping down
You'd make a lovely funeral
