[Verse 1]
A hornet's nest, a flower blooms
I think it's time you leave my room
And holy cellophane and sad perfume
I say I sleep, I never do

[Chorus]
But take me with you when you leave me
Let me make believe you need me
Take me with you when you leave me
When you leave me

[Verse 2]
Meet me at the ceremony
In your whitest gown
We'll watch movie stars take medicine
To forfeit their renown

Oh baby you just wanna drive
I want gold leaf to line my tomb
There ain't no mentioning Ibiza
In the darkness of my room

[Chorus]
But take me with you when you leave me
Let me make believe you need me
Take me with you when you leave me
When you leave me
[Bridge]
You say I'm soft like I was born to be
And so your face is made of clay
And when your smile it's tic tac teeth
Eyes on the floor, stiff as a board
I'm gonna prove, you're gonna see
Won't let this buzzin' stand for nothing
So I'll buy the bowery
And wait inside like Howard Hues
Watch scene by scene

[Chorus]
But take me with you when you leave me
Let me make believe you need me
Take me with you when you leave me
When you leave me
