Damage Control - Intellectual

[Intro]

Y'know, just because you didn't stay too long, doesn't mean it didn't hurt when you were gone

The sun goes down, we're in reverse

I found my calling in your purse

Moon is out, and I go down

Tonight, we'll rape this one-horse town

I would buy you stock in roses, if I wasn't on the dole

And you weren't only damage control

The weeping, wet Pacific sky looks like a diamond, in your eye

It's getting cold, I will do my best

Never thought I'd miss the West

I could put my arms around you, give you shelter from the cold

But you werе only damage control

I hope you've got a nеw boyfriend, I hope he likes you more than I did

You opened up, my latest pawn, and I can't take it any longer

Your supple lips, my aching blood, you offered unrequited stuff

Regretfully, I've since discovered the simple want and vacant ache for love

Is not enough

The morning of, we're well rehearsed

You'll find my love stings like a curse

You pour him off, a noisy bomb, and I am barely hanging on

But if you test my patience, darling, I will eat you whole

You were only damage control

You, you're only damage control
