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
