Goodnight, Fair Lady - Coheed and Cambria

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen

I have a story to tell you of one slow decline

Where a girl yanked on the strings

To break this man’s heart

Oh lord, I think I deserve a little better than this

I think I’ve earned it

So, I’ll just keep humming this song

And hope you follow

Turn me over, roll me 'round

To find the truth that I don’t want found

Oh, don’t believe everything you hear

I’m the snake waiting for you, dear

And eventually, you’ll come to me

I know you will

Oh, I know you will

Your lipstick crazy, I make my pass

The drink turns over, the glass smashed

And with the kindness of my smarts

I replace your pleasure with a friend at the bottom

Turn me over, roll me 'round

To find the truth that I don’t want found

Oh, don’t believe everything you hear

I’m the snake waiting for you, dear

And eventually, you’ll come to me

I know you will

Oh, it’s my fate

To be your biggest mistake

Oh, I’ll tell you all you want to hear

Until you sleep

I know you will…

Oh, goodnight

Oh, goodnight, fair lady

Oh, turn me over, roll me 'round

To find the truth that I don’t want found

Oh, don’t believe everything you hear

I’m the snake waiting for you, dear

And eventually, you’ll come to me

And eventually, you’ll come to me

We can agree to disagree

Well, maybe that was you then, and now this is me

But eventually, you’ll come to me, baby

I know you will…
