The Collector Lyrics

You've been looking for some reasonings

To explain away why it's not that kind of fling

She will keep you dangling by a string

She will treat you like one in a million of her

Special things in her menagerie

And the love you bring will only affect her

Insomuch as she's a collector

Ain't it funny how when you've been liberated

That old cut and dry becomes so complicated

She has entered you into an exclusive ring

And you feel centered, like one in a million of her

Special things in her menagerie

And the love you bring she takes so casually

So, I do not want to rain on your parade

But I do not want you hurt by a charade

And I know you're only trying to protect her

But she's a collector

You've been looking for some reasonings

To explain away why it's not that kind of fling

She will keep you dangling by a string

She will treat you like one in a million of her

Special things in her menagerie

And the love you bring will only affect her

Insomuch as she's a collector
