Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
If you could save yourself, you'd save us all
Is that what you called me for?
Is that why you're knockin' on my door?
The time I've spent working myself to death
Thought that's what you wanted
I thought you needed my help
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
The wheels fell off, the bottom dropped out
The checks all bounced, I came in your mouth
Your mother came callin', but there was no one around
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
If you could save yourself, you'd save us all
Is that what you called me for?
Is that why you're knockin' on my door?
The time I've spent working myself to death
Thought that's what you wanted
I thought you needed my help
[Verse 7]
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
