My Sentimental Melody Lyrics - The Magnetic Fields

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
