Statuette

Lyrics

With a feather in your cap
 Another jewel in your crown
 Another notch in your belt
 You're the captain at the helm
 The statuette on your shelf
 Says you're better than me
 Oh
 Better than me
 Oh
 With all the coal in the core
 All the water and the oil
 You can buy any girl in the world
 With the soil that you borrow
 And the moral you deny
 You can buy the eyes of the world
 Better than me (you're better than me)
 Oh
 Better than me (you're better than me)
 Oh
 Better than me (you're better than me)
 Oh
 Oh
 Oh
 Like oil in the ocean
 I couldn't keep to myself
 Your father was a merchant
 And I'm a salesman myself
 See what we have in common
 Is so easy to find
 We're wound around each other
 Like wires and vines
 Wires and vines
 Build a shrine to fast goodbyes
 And we played Sweet Adeline
 Who should you apologize to?
 What is there to say?
 Build a shrine to fast goodbyes
 And we played Sweet Adeline
 There's nothing more to apologize for
 What is there to say?
 With all the coal in the core
 All the water and the oil
 You can buy any girl in the world
 With the soil that you borrow
 And the moral you deny
 You can buy the eyes of the world
 Better than me (you're better than me)
 Oh
 Better than me (you're better than me)
 Oh
 Better than me (you're better than me)
 Oh
 Oh
 Oh
