Stephin Merritt - My Sentimental Melody lyrics

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 [Chorus] 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 k** people, can't it Well it still might k** me Each drop of rain Is a gla** 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... [Chorus]
