[Intro]

[Verse 1]
I was a young man, starving and drinking
And trying, to become a writer
And I remember that apartment, the smell of mice and dust
And the old woman with the pretty legs. All the kisses that I lost
to your neck.
[Verse 2]
I am a tennis player, playing on both sides of the net. And I-I-
I will get you yet
And I will turn you I will turn you like a tattooed pigskin
And this time you wonât forget my face. Read my lips.
[Chorus 1]
A sculpure is a sculpture marmelade is marmelade
And a sculture of marmelade is a sculpture but it isn t marmelade
She said with you inside me comes the knowledge of my death
But I still had some oranges left underneath the bed
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
I came to you. I came to depend on you.
I came upon you. I came upon your floor.
But the God should be left alone one musn t
Bang upon the door
[Verse 4]
She said that for everything that is visible there is a copy that is hidden
She said nothing takes on light until it has been eaten
I was working the hole with the sailor and you wonder
Why you donât get invited to more parties. Read my lips.
[Chorus 2]
A sculpure is a sculpture marmelade is marmelade
And a sculture of marmelade is a sculpture but it isn t marmelade
She said with you inside me comes the knowledge of my death
But I still had some oranges left underneath the bed
[Outro]
