An Animal in Your Care Lyrics

Time after time you will forgive me
Like an animal in your care
But give it time. You will outlive me
And take the bow back you put in my hair
Made a parade of myself in the street outside your house
For the New York photographer there
I fell for crime and I fell for beauty
I fell for you because you're the one that cared
And when I die you can put on costumes
In the style of the clothes I wore
And sing the songs your lover taught you
When you were too young to know that this was what they were for.
C G Em Em (riff at bottom)
La la la la. La la la lala. lalala
La la la la. La la la lala. lalala
Like some dead relative, you will remember me most
by my funeral and all the beautiful toasts you made
Take back the spade. We've both been filling up our days
like we were filling in a grave
(piano/guitar riff at bottom)
