My Sentimental Melody Songtext
von The Magnetic Fields

I′m a hopeless romantic
You're a terrible flirt
Cool and unfazed,
you′re always amazed
when someone gets hurt
I live on the blue planet
that I saw in your eyes
but now I can't stay
knowing it's made
of beautiful lies


but my sentimental melody
like a long-lost lullabye
will ring in your ears
down through the years
bringing a tear to your eye
Goodbye

Love can kill people, can′t it
Well it still might kill me
Each drop of rain
is a glass of champagne
It′s sweet and it's free
When I drink I don′t panic
When I drink I don't die
When I′m far gone
it's all just a song
just beautiful lies...


but my sentimental melody
like a long-lost lullabye
will ring in your ears
down through the years
bringing a tear to your eye
Goodbye
