As we were talking outside it was coldWe were shivering yet warmed by the subject matterMy wife is in the next room, we've been having troubles you knowPlease don't tell her or anyone but I need to talk to somebodyYou said, Wouldn't it be a shame if I knew how great I wasFive minutes before I'd died I'd be filled with such regretBefore I took my last breath and I saidBut you're willing to tell me this nowAnd you're not going to die anytime soonAnd I said, I haven't been eating chicken or meat or anythingAnd you said, Yes but you've been wearing leatherAnd laughed and said, We're at the top of the food chainAnd yes you're still a fine woman and I cringedI was hopingI was hoping we could heal each otherI was hopingI was hoping we could be raw togetherWe left the restaurant where the head waiter in his 60's saidGoodbye sir, thank you for your businessSir, you're successful and established, sirWe like the frequency with which you dine here sir and your money andWhen I walked by they said Thank you too dearI was all pigtails and cordsAnd there was a day when I would've said something likeHey dude I could buy and sell this place so kiss itI too once thought I was owed somethingI was hopingI was hoping we could challenge each otherI was hopingI was hoping we could crack each other upI too thought that when proved wrong I lost somehowI too once thought life was cruel andIt's a cycle reallyYou think I'm withdrawing and guilt tripping youI think you're insensitiveAnd I don't feel heard and I said, Do you believe we areFundamentally judgmental, fundamentally evil?And you said, YesI said, I don't believe in revenge, in right or wrong, good or badYou said, Well what about the man that I saw handcuffedIn the emergency room bleeding after beating his kidAnd she threw a shoe at his headAnd I think what he did was wrongAnd I would've had a hard time feeling compassion for himI had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judgedI was hopingI was hoping we could dance togetherI was hopingI was hoping we could be creamy together
Lyrics by Alanis Morissette
