Goodnight, Fair Lady (demo) Songtext
von Coheed and Cambria

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen
I have a story to tell you, of a once lonely night
When a girl came down the street to break this man′s heart

Oh lord I think I deserve a little better than this
I think I've earned it
So I′ll just keep plucking this song and hope you follow

Turn me over, roll me 'round
To find the truth that I don't want found
Oh, don′t believe everything you hear
I′m the snake waiting for you, dear
And eventually you'll come to me
I know you will

Oh, I know you will

Let′s get crazy, I'll make my pass
The drink turns over, the glass smashed
And with a kindness and my smarts I replaced your pleasure
With a friend at the bottom


Turn me over, roll me ′round
To find the truth that I don't want found
Oh, don′t believe everything you hear
I'm the snake waiting for you, dear
And eventually you'll come to me
I know you will

Oh, it′s my sake to be your biggest mistake
Oh, I tell you all you want to hear until you sleep
I know you will

Oh, goodnight
Oh, goodnight, fair lady

Oh, turn me over, roll me ′round
To find the truth that I don't want found
Oh, don′t believe everything you hear
I'm the snake waiting for you, dear
And eventually you′ll come to me
And eventually you'll come to me

Oh, we can agree to disagree
Well maybe that was you, then, and now this is me
Eventually you′ll come to me, baby
I know you will
