lyrics

I’m a silver tongue crooked as they come
I’ll talk you oh so sweet darling
And do you oh so wrong

But that’s okay I’ll get by without yeah
Yeah mama that’s okay I’ll get by without you

The lights are on the show is over
We can all go home
And dream of fantasies but it’s just realities
That are haunting us now
For the life of me can’t figure out
Who stole the crown and who’s really king now

Have a sip of wine you should be fine
But two more and the memories
Have gone out the doorYour clothes gather dust your head on a platter
Is it love or merely lust?
Save the former take the latter would you now?

I’m a silver tongue wicked as they come
I’m here one minute mama
And the next I’m gone

But that’s okay I’ll get by without you
Yeah mama that’s okay I’ll get by without you

We’re standing on the ground
And the Devil is below
And it shows in the way that my hands
Seem to shake in the light
That’s calling me now
I’m clsoing the curtain and taking my final bow

But first let’s dance in the moonlight
It must be romance
That has lit up the corner of your eyes
And kept things off of the groud
As we float through the night
If I do it at all I’ll do it in time
Baby do it right would you now?

I’m a silver tongue crooked as they come
I’ll talk you oh so sweet mama

And do you oh so wrong
