They call you the crueler kind You've known it all along And as for these crude little rhymes This is far from your first song Yeah I need you on my wavelength I can't read you from the pavement Rattle your head out of time You're the nightingale snakebite type Yeah they call you the crueler kind And you're living up to the hype Yeah I need you on my wavelength I can't read you, drunk on the pavement So hook up or hang up Can I see you? Put it all down to a pocket dial And when it's time to pay the toll You're gonna need an ace in the hole Is your heart as full as the moon like mine? They call you the crueler kind You've known it all along And as for these crude little rhymes This is far from your last song Yeah I need you on my wavelength I can't read you from the pavement Yeah I need you on my wavelength I can't read you from the pavement
