Beth Thornley Don't Save Me
Just for a moment we'll play it your way
Give me the clothes and we'll see how it goes
Don't forget it's a luxury, this little whim
And if I can't trick 'em, they won't let me in
This corset that takes my breath, nut I'll play along
Without it are you afraid I'll come undone?
Now you've completed your task with the warmest disregard,
And ou say, 'It's a start'; I say, 'Lily Bart.'
Chorus:
Don't save me
Don't save me
Don't save me
You've done enough
Bridge:
Now that I'm in I'd rather be out.
The stuff you heaped is rather cruel, don't you think?
Your good intent is dispensed with such pretense, it has left me bent.
I recognize this exercise as your attempt to canonize, and
I don't need any more of your kind deeds
Chorus:
