Excuse me while I die A million times before I meet Your eyes with mine
And find all the promises you’ll make Before you leave me on the shelf Then I’ll have no one to blame Guess I’ve got no one to blame
Excuse me while I try To be somebody that you might Decide you like
Enough to come over to my place And as my heart begins to swell I’ll forget to where that face That you got to know so well
And you’ll see me as I am Just an empty, broken shell Then I’ll have no one to blame Guess I’ve got no one to blame But myself
See there’s a mystery in your eyes A kind of swimming pool for swimming fools Like me, so
Excuse me while I fly High up above this broken town As I look down
On all the people as they say That they’re always here to help In my heart I know that they Couldn’t catch me if I fell
Only you could take the weight Of this ancient, wicked spell Then you’ll have no one to blame Guess you’ve got no one to blame Then you’ll have no one to blame But yourself
See, there’s a mystery in your eyes A kind of swimming pool for swimming fools Like me
