With a cartographer's grace you mapped my soul
Tied around your pretty clothes into a wrecking ball
When you sing to yourself do you hear
Your inner marketeers?
Do they find a way
Do you make them disappear?
Oh my, you try to be good
I wish you could
With a mineshaft blackened face looking for clues
To what makes you brave and how to undo
You’re 300 Spartans strong
I'm Xerxes in a thong
I will find a way
To make you say
Oh my, you try to be good
I wish you could
With a cartographer’s grace you mapped my soul
Tied around your pretty clothes into a wrecking ball
And the sea it waits
For you to escape
Another tide to take you into space
Oh my, you try to be good
