T Bone Burnett - Wasted lyrics

If you had eyes like golden crowns and Diamonds in your fingertips you'd waste it If shining wisdom pa**ed your lips and Traveled to the ears of God you'd waste it And so I hate that you're overrated most Revered and celebrated because you'll waste it Then again it's good to get a call Now and then just to say hello Have I said I hate to see you go I hate to see you go But every time you close a door and nothing Opens in its place you've wasted And when you speak the words you know To those who know the words themselves You're wasted You're such a cla**ic waste of cool, so afraid to Break the rules in all the wrong places Then again it's good to get a call Now and then just to say hello Have I said I hate to see you go I hate to see you go
