now i'd seen him despondent a few times as of late sometimes the answer
that love gives is the hardest one to take i know he was prone to paint
the voice of his own fear so vincent he picked up the blade and he
put it to his ear
look at yourself in the mirror you're all rumpled
red stubbled and gaunt you walk a dead end path in a dry corn field and
now this morose response your princess she don't wanna see you no your
princess she don't wanna hear so vincent he picked up the blade and he
put it to his ear
now look if you're gonna come around here and say
those sort of things you gotta take a few on the chin you talking about
love and all that stuff you better bring your thickest skin sometimes
you can't please everyone sometimes you can't please anyone at all you
sew your heart onto your sleeve and wait for the ax to fall
you
there with the paint box you there with paper and pen me i got this
blunt instrument i'm gonna play on 'til the end and you know you come
with empty hands or you don't come at all you deal your best hand out
in the marketplace and let the chips fall
the package it comes
wrapped up there is a lesson here vincent he picked up the blade
and he put it to his ear
now look if you're gonna come around here
and say those sort of things you gotta take a few on the chin yeah
you're talking about sin and redemption well you better wear your thickest
skin sometimes you can't please everyone sometimes you can't please
anyone at all sew your heart onto your sleeve and wait for the ax to
fall
