In the trees
Singing, "Please, Sadie. See me through"
As you wave bye in the driveway
And I want something new
Broken knees
I'm gonna freeze, Sadie. What'd you do?
As you hop into the taxi
And I don't know what to say to you
Bloody cheeks when he speaks
Like a basketball
What was the Tenth Commandment?
'Cause I just can't forget what I saw
All the glory to the story
To the alcohol
I read about a bee in the Bible
But I just can't remember it all
Sadie, really
Why do you have to be so tongue-and-cheek?
Breaking my heart every Thursday
With a willy-nilly hide-and-go-seek
Sadie, please
Sadie, please
I don't want to stay here
And I don't wanna leave
I can't be the only one
With a needle in my vein when you touch my arm
Or are your eyes laminated? Are your pupils dilated
'Cause you've got a hit of acid on your tongue?
Were your birds in a nest? Or your roses in a fever
For the million-dollar reasons I don't know?
Was I second-best? A quart beside a liter?
For a sapling in the shade will never grow
And I know you don't want no pet
But I'm a late bloomer tumor with a decent sense of humor
And I hope I grow on you
