Finishing Touches Lyrics

I'm getting tired of you 

You're getting tired of me 

And it's the final act 

Of our little tragedy 

So don't feign indignation 

It's a fait accompli 

You can screw everybody I've ever known 

But I still won't talk to you on the phone 

It's a hopeless cause--there's no use crying 

And I can die, you can die 

We can die trying 

Thanks anyway, no use hangin' around 

You try to put the finishing touches on me

You say it's all my fault 

Who's keeping score? 

Some people like to be punished 

They keep coming back for more 

But I'm sick & tired 

And my cock is sore 

You can screw everybody 

I've ever known 

But I still won't talk to you on the phone

It's a hopeless cause--there's no use crying 

And I can die, you can die

We can die trying

Thanks anyway, no use hangin' around 

You try to put the finishing touches on me

Thanks anyway 

No use hangin' around 

You try to put the finishing touches on me 

Thanks anyway . . . 

Finishing touches, finishing touches on me
