You set yourself up again

Run back to new york city sell yourself your new fame

Yeah with eyes that could cut down the laws

But the camera will one day shoot you down

Oh you're just a girl living inside a box

You dance the foxtrot down to the beat of your own drum.

Ooohh I should have asked you to be mine

Ooohh, yes, I think of it all the time

But it's hard, when you're picking up loose ends

Loose ends.

Oh I met you when we were young

Pass by the eyes but we looked backed at the song

Tommy was a man who made the connection

I still see him when I can, he still mentions you

Ohh, the fractions of our heart, the lovers that tore us apart

And you're the one that did me the worse.

Ooohh I should have asked you to be mine

Ooohh, you're still the princess of my mind

And it's hard, picking up loose ends.

She was a family of eccentrics

Of it was hard for her because they never ignored her

And still her father would have loved to adore her

And will do what I can to get back to her.

Ooohh I should have asked her to be mine

Ooohh, now she's the princess of our time

But it's hard, picking up loose ends.
