A Song for Icarus (lyrics)

Baby when you're good, you're good
but when you're bad you're even worse.
And I know when you're good, you're good,
you cast your light like it's a curse.

You wanna take me out to dinner,
slip your drugs into my purse.

'Cause baby when you're good, you're good,
but when you're bad you're even worse.

I've given you heaven.
Lord knows I gave you hell.

I've driven you up the wall, out of the state.
You raised your flag, I changed my name.
You flew too close, I burned your wings,
but you love to hear this pretty bird sing.

Baby when you're good, you're good
and I'm diving in head first.
'Cause I know when you're good, you're good
but when you're bad you're even worse.

You got me wrapped around your finger,
send my heart off in a hearse.

'Cause I know when you're good, you're good
and I know you like me more perverse.

I've given you heaven.
Lord knows I gave you hell.

I've driven you up the wall, out of the state.
You raised your flag, I changed my name.
You flew too close, I burned your wings,
you cursed the sun, and wept for rain.
I buried myself 'neath the trees,
you clawed at roots for verity.
Now you're lying here with me
and you think the moon's so pretty.
