Thought You Were Brilliant

Thought you were brilliant You were just full of helium You took me to the moon Then you dropped me on my cranium Like a sick twisted joke From a karma comedian You ain't done nothing That I ain't done before But you were ?free Annie? & even the score

Lord knows I've broken Some hearts in my day But I didn't mean it It just turned out that way Well I got a radio That plays all our songs But I'll sing out of key Well since you been gone But you stole the fire & you left me to burn I guess I deserved it I guess it's my turn

Thought you were brilliant You were just full of helium You took me to the moon Then you dropped me on my cranium Like a sick twisted joke From a karma comedian You ain't done nothing That I ain't done before But you were ?free Annie? & even the score

Lord knows I've seen my world dissapear in front of my eyes I'm standing on the corner for hours & hours Watching waves of people pass by But you stole the fire & you left me to burn I guess I deserved it I guess it's my turn

Thought you were brilliant You were just full of helium You took me to the moon Then you dropped me on my cranium Like a sick twisted joke From a karma comedian You ain't done nothing That I ain't done before But you were ?free Annie? & even the score

Stormin the bad lands to find you Through lightning & thunder I'll drive Your photograph's smiling to guide me My heart says I'm still here for life

Well paper & dust & barbed wire With nothing but acres to burn Well I could wait here forever Forever

Thought you were brilliant You were just full of helium You took me to the moon Then you dropped me on my cranium Like a sick twisted joke From a karma comedian You ain't done nothing That I ain't done before But you were ?free Annie? & even the score

But you were ?free Annie? & even the score
