Lyrics

[Chorus] Self-pity, come back to town We're all lost when you're not around Self-pity, come back to town We're all lost when you're not around Come home, self-pity [Verse 1] You walk straight, walk tall Mind a-made up, then you fall Not you, not your fault Sugar for sugar, salt for salt [Pre-Chorus] Mister pitiful liar Oh, you trip on the wire [Chorus] Self-pity, come back to town We're all lost when you're not around Self-pity, come back to town We're all lost when you're not around Come home, self-pity [Verse 2] The king of nothing, but no crown World's a-tumbling down, down, down The emperor's new clothes Tied up with ribbon and bows It's not you, never your fault Lick your wounds, then pass the salt [Pre-Chorus] Mister pitiful liar You keep tripping on the wire [Chorus] Self-pity, come back to town We're all lost when you're not around Self-pity, come back to town We're all lost when you're not around Come home, self-pity [Bridge] Play hard to get, don't know the reason why But act tough, all you need is a lullaby So get off of your high horse, it's all a lie [Chorus] Self-pity, come back to town We're all lost when you're not around Self-pity, come back to town We're all lost when you're not around Self-pity, come back to town We're all lost when you're not around Self-pity, come back to town We're all lost when you're not around Come home, self-pity Come on, self-pity
