i listen to your records
from time to time
so much of my life
set to music and rhyme
you say you felt such a rush
and you felt so alive
when he threatened you
and we told him lies
you'd turn up East of Suez
pin me to the wall
and kiss me like you were dying
while he was coming down the hall
a reliable muse
your songs are about me
often, just the two of us
and sometimes, all three
i knew i was good material
but do you think of me
when you register another digit
on the incoming royalties
from time to time
