Charlie Ingram's Song

Dreamer; Temple; Stimson

: Late at night, I'd stare
Into your emerald eyes
And know there's something there
I can't bear.

You wake up on
A street corner and wonder,
Where's your daddy gone?
The guy who has you
Treats you like a punching bag,
But does it matter at all?
Now, how much are
You selling for a dollar?
The fallen princess is digging for a dime.
Mr. Ingram knew this would happen....
I always told you the truth,
But you made up things to hurt me.
I gave you all of my trust,
But you took my life away from me.

: Charlie Ingram knows
Everything about life,
Everything about truth,
Everything about love.
The world barely shows
All the things that Mr. Ingram knows,
But I forgot to talk to Mr. Ingram.

INST LINK: 16 bars

: Late at night, I'd stare
Into your emerald eyes
And know there's something there
I can't bear.

You lived alone,
Although you were together.
Is somebody home?
Things like "I love you"
Might well be foreign phrases.
And aren't there problems at home?
Mr. Ingram knew this would happen....
He only told you the truth,
So you banished him to Limbo.
She gave you all of her trust,
So you used it against her.
What more can I do?
What else can I say?
Well, let me be brief:

: You're a liar and a thief.
(You're) A liar and a thief.
Charlie tried to warn me. You're a liar and a thief.
: Charlie Ingram knows
Everything about life,
Everything about truth,
Everything about love.
The world barely shows
All the things that Mr. Ingram knows,
But I forgot to talk to Mr. Ingram.

INST LINK: 16 bars

: Late at night, I'd stare
Into your emerald eyes
And know there's something there
I can't bear.

There was a time
You wouldn't take a million.
The fallen princess is begging for a crumb.
Mr. Ingram knew this would happen....

: Charlie Ingram knows
Everything about life,
Everything about truth,
Everything about love.
The world barely shows
All the things that Mr. Ingram knows,
But I forgot to talk to Mr. Ingram.

So, what more can I do?
What else can I say
To add to your grief?

: You're a liar and a thief.
(You're) A liar and a thief.
You're a liar. You're a liar and a thief.
: Late at night, I'd stare
Into your emerald eyes
And know there's something there
I can't bear.
REPEAT and FADE
