receptacle for the respectable

it took a long time for me to get over

your incredible ways

and now i'm minded to wipe out the memory

of the way you behave

you're a receptacle

for the respectable

i took some time out to study your actions

of how you painted towns red

and if my worst fears came to fruition

i'm sure you'd leave us all dead

i was so gullible

but now i'm cynical

we're all susceptible

to the incredible

tell me

tell me

tell me again

'cause it's very inane

are you pleased to see me suffer ever?

tell me

tell me

explain your game

'cause it's very inane

are you pleased to see me suffer ever?

tell me

tell me

tell me again

'cause it's very inane

are you pleased to see me suffer ever?

tell me

tell me

explain your game

'cause it's very inane

are you pleased to see me suffer ever?

welcome as a storm cloud in the late december gloom

subtle as a nail bomb in the head

you came to me in peace and left me in pieces

receptacle for the respectable.
