Lyrics They Might Be Giants

They Might Be Giants

Mrs. Bluebeard

I want to say I learned something valuable today

Alas, my murdered remains are incapable of learning anything

Trusted you

I should have never trusted you

In fact I never did

What's the use

I'm not complaining

I'm not anything

Is this what's supposed to happen

When you're only trying to do right in this wicked world?

Probably I should already know this

Probably I should graciously accept what I get

Most people wouldn't hang the corpses up for review

Dearest, I can only hope most people are nothing like you

Nervous tics

That I pretended not to see

That's how I was brought up

Warning signs

Death metal albums

"Hang in there, baby" poster

Is this how you thank somebody

For their selfless loyalty? Is this what you do?

Pardon me for failing to grasp how this works

Excuse my breathtaking ignorance

Is this what's supposed to happen

When you're only trying to do right in this wicked world?

Probably I should already know this

Probably I should graciously accept what I get
