The Sting

[Verse 1]
Apathetic
Half-pathetic
I was thirsty so I drank a lot
If you see nothing you should say nothing
I see clearly, so I said too much
What the hell is wrong with me
Apart from what the doctor sees?
Waiting in the hospital lot
My golden receiver

[Chorus]
Though I’d like to say yes to the talk of the town
I st-st-stammer all my glamour
I won’t live this down
You don’t know the guts it took just to show up here
You don’t know how I’d like to say yes

[Verse 2]
Got a new sting in the same old spot
Feeling lethal, so I bit my tongue
Easy baking, the swarm comes in
I’m drinking, so I rang you up
Golden receiver again
Blush ‘cuz I’m guilty again
Minced the proceedings again
My golden receiver

[Chorus]
Though I’d like to say yes to the talk of the town
I st-st-stammer all my glamour
I won’t live this down
You don’t know the guts it took just to show up here
You don’t know how I'd like to say yes

[Bridge]
And whether or not you seem open to my honesty
I scan the headlines and I clip the best for you
'Cuz love is in the news and that means love has got a history Without exception you had best believe historically
It’s twice a hornet stings

[Outro]
Here comes the sting
Here comes the sting
Here comes the sting
Here comes the sting
My golden receiver
