The Sting Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Apathetic

Half-pathetic

I was thirsty so I drank a lot

If you see nothing you should say nothing

I see clearly, so I said too much

What the hell is wrong with me

Apart from what the doctor sees?

Waiting in the hospital lot

My golden receiver



[Chorus]

Though I'd like to say yes to the talk of the town

I st-st-stammer all my glamour

I won't live this down

You don't know the guts it took just to show up here

You don't know how I'd like to say yes



[Verse 2]

Got a new sting in the same old spot

Feeling lethal, so I bit my tongue

Easy baking, the swarm comes in

I'm drinking, so I rang you up

Golden receiver again

Blush ‘cuz I'm guilty again

Minced the proceedings again

My golden receiver



[Chorus]

Though I'd like to say yes to the talk of the town

I st-st-stammer all my glamour

I won't live this down

You don't know the guts it took just to show up here

You don't know how I'd like to say yes



[Bridge]

And whether or not you seem open to my honesty

I scan the headlines and I clip the best for you

'Cuz love is in the news and that means love has got a history Without exception you had best believe historically

It's twice a hornet stings



[Outro]

Here comes the sting

Here comes the sting

Here comes the sting

Here comes the sting

My golden receiver
