The Wishbone

Face to face, in a crowded basement

You were all amazement

That I should hate the way that I am just a replacement

I said, don't rebound on me, I am not a tennis court

This is not Monopoly or a spectator sport

Maybe it used to be but I've been through too much

Talk, but don't touch, just

Give me the wishbone

Give me the wishbone and I'll make a wish

I'll wish for mutual love and happiness

I'll wish for friendship free from artifice

Just give me the wishbone

Give me the wishbone

Side my side in virtual contentment

My resentment self-evident when I pleaded the 5th

amendment

'Cause I can't talk about things I can't abide

Specially when we're mix and matching wrong and right

Let's quit the physical while we're still ahead

No damage done, no blood shed and I said

Give me the wishbone

Give me the wishbone and I'll make a wish

I'll wish for mutual love and happiness

I'll wish for friendship free from artifice

Just give me the wishbone

Give me the wishbone

Give me the wishbone

Give me the wishbone

I sashayed away in my elegant stilettos

Like a hundred different women who had walked that way

before me

I inflected my invective will all these self-reflexive

echoes

And I said I just didn't want somebody who could not

adore me

Oh and you stood and you stared and you were rooted to

the spot

Was it the brutal truth or the rudeness you saw in my

parting shot

Ah and your eyes kind of liquidised and you were like,

but I do

Honey, science dictates I do nothing without proof

So why don't you

Give me the wishbone

Give me the wishbone and I'll make a wish

I'll wish for mutual love and happiness

I'll wish for friendship free from artifice

Just give me the wishbone

Give me the wishbone

Give me the wishbone

Give me the wishbone

Give me the wishbone
