Tortoise Regrets Hare Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She said "Answer me this, Handsome Jack: if your hands weren't tied
Would you consider me wise enough to see off your fear of heights
Whether real or imagined
Whether flight or fancy?
I'll teach you all that this city has taught me
I'll bow you around this city's boundaries"

[Hook]
Tortoise regrets hare
Tortoise regrets hare
Fox takes hare

[Verse 2]
And I mentioned that I'd seen you in the paper
Marrying some fool you'd slipped a smile into the picture
Saying "I am still the same infinite girl that you've all known"
And are there any regrets here aside my own?
I sleep with your songs running up my arms
And curling around and keeping me warm

[Hook]
Tortoise regrets hare
Tortoise regrets hare
Fox takes hare

[Musical Interlude]
(Hold on, hold on)

[Verse 3]
And on the Crown Road, when it aligns with the North Star
She asked me to write a song about her
She said her husband was a singer, but he didn't understand her beauty
And he couldn't rhyme an egg
Oh, the petty jealousies of the minor rock star
And this ring has never left my finger
He doesn't see your beauty and you cannot trust a word he says

[Hook]
Tortoise regrets hare
Tortoise regrets hare
Fox takes hare

[Musical Interlude]
(Hold on, hold on)

[Verse 4]
And I tell you, "Don't you sell your love short
In my prime, I was a cruel and cold man
But now I am older, I present myself much warmer
Anxious not to lose out on a year or two's favour
For the sake of my red temper"
And you pressed sea shells in the sand
And they spelled out your cruel, cruel demands

[Outro]
Tortoise regrets hare
Tortoise regrets hare
Fox takes hare
Fox takes hare
Tortoise regrets hare
