The Magnetic Fields - My Sentimental Melody lyrics

I'm a hopeless romantic

You're a terrible flirt

Cool and unfazed,

you're always amazed

when someone gets hurt

I live on the blue planet

that I saw in your eyes

but now I can't stay

knowing it's made

of beautiful lies

but my sentimental melody

like a long-lost lullabye

will ring in your ears

down through the years

bringing a tear to your eye

Goodbye

Love can kill people, can't it

Well it still might kill me

Each drop of rain

is a glass of champagne

It's sweet and it's free

When I drink I don't panic

When I drink I don't die

When I'm far gone

it's all just a song

just beautiful lies...

but my sentimental melody

like a long-lost lullabye

will ring in your ears

down through the years

bringing a tear to your eye

Goodbye
