how could you want him when you know you could have me

Spin Doctors

I m quite contented to take my chances
Against the Guildensterns & Rosenkrantzes
It s a matter of Cain & Abel
And I can feel your knee underneath the table

He doesn t dangle by the seraphim
He only wants a pretty face by him so
How could you want him when you know you could have me?

See the pigeons peck & peck to pay the dues
They peck a little extra to resole their shoes
He s with the pigeons pecking crumbs
I m on my deathbed bleeding with the cherubim

He doesn t dangle by the seraphim
He only wants a pretty face by him so
How could you want him when you know you could have me?

Ferocious angels send me falling stars
But I know just how dangerous wishes are
Ferocious angels watch me come and go
But I m not too smart to go barging off of roof tops, though

Sit out September on the window sill
Cause you can t drink wine from a two dollar bill
Saint Christopher lives on the end of a quill
Leave him a diamond in your last will

He doesn t dangle by the seraphim
He only wants a pretty face by him so
How could you want him when you know you could have me?

How could you want him when you know you could have me? (x4)
