The Wishbone (Second Person)

Face to face, in a crowded basement You were all amazement That I should hate the way that I am just a replacement I said, don't rebound on me, I am not a tennis court This is not Monopoly or a spectator sport Maybe it used to be but I've been through too much Talk, but don't touch, just Give me the wishbone Give me the wishbone and I'll make a wish I'll wish for mutual love and happiness I'll wish for friendship free from artifice Just give me the wishbone Give me the wishbone Side my side in virtual contentment My resentment self-evident when I pleaded the 5th amendment 'Cause I can't talk about things I can't abide Specially when we're mix and matching wrong and right Let's quit the physical while we're still ahead No damage done, no blood shed and I said Give me the wishbone Give me the wishbone and I'll make a wish I'll wish for mutual love and happiness I'll wish for friendship free from artifice Just give me the wishbone Give me the wishbone Give me the wishbone Give me the wishbone I sashayed away in my elegant stilettos Like a hundred different women who had walked that way before me I inflected my invective will all these self-reflexive echoes And I said I just didn't want somebody who could not adore me Oh and you stood and you stared and you were rooted to the spot Was it the brutal truth or the rudeness you saw in my parting shot Ah and your eyes kind of liquidised and you were like, but I do Honey, science dictates I do nothing without proof So why don't you Give me the wishbone Give me the wishbone and I'll make a wish I'll wish for mutual love and happiness I'll wish for friendship free from artifice Just give me the wishbone Give me the wishbone Give me the wishbone Give me the wishbone Give me the wishbone
