Lyrics
Curious wind comes blowing in
It slips on past, back out again
The hair rises on my skin
That seventh sense detecting sin
As the spectacle begins
Your cavalcade rolls in
red carpets of roses, violins
And other samplings of your whims
All the pomp and the circumstance
It's not enough for you just to dance
If given half a chance
You would welcome - you would welcome romance
Dropping lurid, little clues
Navigating through the news
The local gossip's bringin' blues
But the joke's on you
Disconcerting wind comes sweeping in
It kicks around and churns within
Now I may have taken one on the chin
But babe you cut your slices too thin
The trumpets blare as your masses stare
All for you: ostentatious fanfare
Oh but baby I've been prepared
Make your move
I double-dog-dare!
Cuz history can prove I get some different looks from you
And all the while thought me true
But the joke's on you
Cuz you stood there and looked me in the eyes
You said I was the only
How's it feel to know you compromised
And sank so lowly
A gust of wind shoves its way on through
It shook us up - but that you knew
You thought you had it all worked out
This was an unexpected twist no doubt
Dropping lurid, little clues
Navigating through the news
The local gossip's bringin' blues
But the joke's on you
Cuz you stood there and looked me square in the eyes
You said I was the only
How's it feel to know you compromised yourself and sank so lowly
I have made my peace and licked my wounds
And now I'm off to lose you
Who will be the one to cater to your moods?
The joke's on you!
Dropping lurid, little clues
Navigating through the news
The local gossip's bringin' blues
But the joke's on you
