Had me a trick and a kick and your message
Well you'll never gain weight from a doughnut hole
Then thought that I could decipher your message
There's no one here dear
No one at all

And if I'm wasting all your time
This time
Maybe you never learned to take
And if I'm hanging on to your shade
I guess I'm way beyond the pale

And southern men can grow gold
Can grow pertty
Blood can be pertty
Like a delicate man
Copper to steel to a hinge that is faltered
That let's you in let's you in let's you in
Something's just keeping you numb

You told me last night
You were a sun now with your very own

Devoted satellite
Happy for you
And I am sure that I hate you
Too sons too many too many able fires

And if I'm wasting all your time
This time
I think you never learned to take
And if I'm hanging on to your shade
I guess I'm way beyond the pale

    Definitely about an ex-boyfriend, boasting about his new lover: "You told me last night you were a sun now with your very ownd evoted satellite"... It's about how she still loves him but also hates him: "Happy for you, and I am sure that I hate you" (what an amazing loine) It's anout the complex feelings that come with a break-up, I can sense a lot of sadness & anger in it.
