  • Babe
    There's something tragic about you
    Something so magic about you
    Don't you agree?

    Babe
    There's something lonesome about you
    Something so wholesome about you
    Get closer to me

    No tired sighs, no rolling eyes, no irony
    No 'who cares', no vacant stares, no time for me

    Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago
    Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword
    Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know
    I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door

    Babe, there's something wretched about this
    Something so precious about this
    Oh what a sin

    To the strand a picnic plan for you and me
    A rope in hand for your other man to hang from a tree

    Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago
    Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword
    Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know
    I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door

    Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago
    Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword
    Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know
    I slithered here from Eden just to hide outside your door Writer/s: Andrew Hozier Byrne
