The fifth song on Coheed and Cambria’s 2012 album: “The Afterman: Ascension”, this track tells us the story of Meri after she has got over the apparent “death” of her husband in the keywork.
Meri heads to a local bar “The Fair Lady” where her presence doesn’t go unnoticed. A lowlife, Dyer Grinlock,...
[Verse 1]
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen
I have a story to tell you of one slow decline
Where a girl yanked on the strings
To break this man's heart
Oh lord, I think I deserve
A little better than this, I think I've earned it
So, I'll just keep humming this song
And hope you follow
[Chorus]
Turn me over, roll me 'round
To find the truth that I don't want found
Oh, don't believe everything you hear
I'm the snake waiting for you, dear
And eventually, you'll come to me
I know you will
Oh, I know you will
[Verse 2]
Your lipstick crazy, I make my pass
The drink turns over, the glass smashed
And with the kindness of my smarts
I replace your pleasure with a friend at the bottom
[Chorus]
Turn me over, roll me 'round
To find the truth that I don't want found
Oh, don't believe everything you hear
I'm the snake waiting for you, dear
And eventually, you'll come to me
I know you will
[Bridge]
Oh, it's my fate
To be your biggest mistake, oh, oh
Oh, I'll tell you all you want to hear
Until you sleep
[Interlude]
I know you will...
Oh, goodnight, oh, goodnight
Fair lady
[Chorus]
Oh, turn me over, roll me 'round
To find the truth that I don't want found
Oh, don't believe everything you hear
I'm the snake waiting for you, dear
And eventually, you'll come to me
Eventually, you'll come to me
[Outro]
We can agree to disagree
Well, maybe that was you then, and now this is me
But eventually, you'll come to me, baby
I know you will...
