on a free ride home from the embassy
i saw the governor and his lover
holding hands
when i got to my place
i emptied my suitcase
and opened the windows wide
if you could save yourself, you'd save us all
is that what you called me for?
is that why you're knocking on my door?
the time i've spent
working myself to death
thought that's what you wanted
i thought you needed my help
to make it good again
to make us strong
to make you happy
to push you along
and gain some respect
to be be thrown a crumb
i was on my kness
when you knocked me down
The wheels fell off, the bottom dropped out
The checks all bounced, I came in your mouth
Your mother came calling but there was no one around
The trash caught fire when the leaves turned brown
The vultures were circling when the circus left town
I left you a note but I wrote it in disappearing ink
If you could save yourself, you'd save us all
Is that what you called me for, is that why you're knocking on my door?
The time I've spent, working myself to death
Thought that's what you wanted
I thought you needed my help
To make it good again, to make us strong
To make you happy, to push you along
And gain some respect, to be thrown a crumb
I was on my knees, when you knocked me down
(repeat chorus)
