lyrics

Napkins on the Wall

I don’t have to be your man,
I don’t have to wear your gold,
and if you’d lead me to the war,
I wouldn’t go— no-o.

Say you’ll make me #1,
Say you’ll promise all the comfort of
a happy marriage, a happy home,
it’ll go— o-oh.

Is it all that you ever wanted, or
is it barely enough for you now?
When it’s gone to the bone and the curses come,
can you hold your head up straight?

Could be better, could be worse.
At least we have these cups with funny shapes
to hold our water, hold our wine.
It’s alright— ay-aye!

Is it all that you ever wanted, or
is it barely enough for you now?
When it’s gone to the bone, and your napkins on the wall,
can you fold your hands sayin’ Thanks?

Is it all that you ever wanted, or
Is it barely enough for you now?
When it’s gone to the bone and your napkin’s on the plate,
can you fold your hands sayin’ Thanks?
