For You - Live at Schottenstein Center, Columbus, OH - 7/31/2005

Princess cards she sends me with her regards
Oh, barroom eyes shine vacancy, to see you, you gotta look hard
I was wounded deep in battle; I stood stuffed like some soldier undaunted
To her Cheshire smile, I'll stand on fire, she's all I ever wanted

But you let your blue walls get in the way of these facts
Honey, get your carpetbaggers off my back
You wouldn't even give me time to cover my tracks
You said, "Here's your mirror and your ball and jacks"
They ain't what I came for, and I'm sure you see that, too

I came for you, for you, baby, I came for you
But you did not need my urgency
For you, for you, darling, I came for you
But your life was one long emergency
Cloud line urges me
My electric surges free

Crawl into my ambulance, your pulse is getting weak
Reveal yourself, now to me, girl
While you've got the strength to speak
'Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue and with their oxygen masks
But I could give it all to you here, if only you Would ask

Don't call for your surgeon, even he says it's too late
It's ain't your lungs this time, it's your heart that holds your fate
Don't give me my money, honey, I don't want it back
You and your pony face and your Union Jack

Well, you can take that local joker and teach him how to act
I swear I was never that way, even when I really cracked
But didn't you think I knew that you were born with the power of a locomotive
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound?

Your Chelsea suicide with no apparent motive
You could laugh and cry in a single sound

And your strength is devastating
In the face of all these odds
Remember how I kept you waiting
When it was my turn to be the God?

You were not quite half so proud
When I found you broken on the beach
Remember how I poured salt on your tongue
And I hung just out of reach

And the band, they played the homecoming theme as I caressed your cheek
That ragged, jagged melody, still clings to me like a leech
But that medal you wore on your chest always got in the way
You are like a little girl with a trophy so soft to buy her way

We were both hitchhikers but you had your ear tuned to the roar
Some metal-tempered engine on an alien, distant shore
So, you left to find a better reason than the one we were living for
And it ain't that nursery mouth that I came back for

Ant it ain't the way that you're stretched out on the floor
'Cause I've broken all your windows and I've rammed through all your doors
And who am I to ask you to lick my sores?
And you should know that's true

I came for you, for you,baby, I came for you
But you did not need my urgency
For you, for you, darling, I came for you
But your life was one long emergency
And your cloud line urges me
And my electric surges free

I came for you, for you, baby, I came for you
For you, for you, darling, I came for you
For you, for you, baby, I came for you
For you, for you, darling, I came for you
