The Magnetic Fields - Courtesans lyrics
[The Magnetic Fields - Courtesans lyrics]
When you leave them high and dry
They just go on, they just go on
To the next guy
'Cause courtesans only want
Compensation for their time
A few kind words, a few kind words
They need not rhyme
A sable coat, maybe a hat
Oh, I wish I could be like that
But courtesans are not like me
They don't take love very hard
Their hearts are free, their hearts are free
How avant-garde
If no one loves them when they're old
They'll sit upon their chains of gold
You say you'll love them till you die
And they don't care if it's a lie
'Cause courtesans don't believe
In anybody but themselves
And Santa Claus, and Santa Claus
And his twelve elves
