He��s given me things you never would have
And if you did you��d want them back
Forgiven me things I didn��t know that
I had done but just faded to black

He��s given me time and consolation
Some verses to read and lines to say

I will stay here for a while now
He calls me child now but it works that way

Verse 2
He��s given me things you couldn��t guess at
I don��t mean jewels although they were fine
A way to depart, one way to enter
A right to dismiss upon a whim

When I close the door and you��re supposing
I kick up my heels and then I scream

Why was I chosen
You��ll never know what I give to him

Bridge
He��s given me things you never thought of
Because they were not yours to give
So take this pill and tranquilize
And roll your eyes at the husbands, not the customers�� wives

Verse 3
He��s forgiven me trials and tears and tantrums
And even all my false alarms
You sat there amused while I was crying
And just seemed to sigh but that��s what money can buy

And now I know why I come back to him
And now I know why you��ll never do

Who are you out there with one penny
You are so many and we are so few

Verse 4
So cover the canvas if you��re leaving
There��s a bowl in the hallway to wash your hands
If the water runs black please leave some silver
Then step past the glass and never come back
I��m living up here and you can see me
Yes, you can look but you can��t touch
'Cause you don��t belong, the air is thin here
You may asphyxiate, my dear

For didn��t you tell me You should hold me
Oh please, you must hold me as if I were hung

To think you were exciting
When love was frightening but I was so young

Outro
He��s given me things you never dreamed of
Where hopes are dashed and trash is praised
He has an awful lot of money
The past can be bought and then erased
