Funny Little Tragedy (with Elvis Costello) - Gov't Mule, Elvis Costello

Life has finally shown you

It’s a mean old world

The killer little soldier

Is now a scared little girl

Always had everything

Just handed to you

Always had it your way

I got to hand it to you

And seeing you now

All broken down, I gotta say…

It’s a funny little tragedy

A funny little tragedy

A funny little tragedy

Your standing on my doorstep

You say you’ve got nowhere to go

You’re all soaking wet

I’ve never seen you so low

Sorry if I don’t fall

For your tricks again

But I seem to recall

The way you did me in

And now your new lover

Has left you high and dry, I gotta say…

It’s a funny little tragedy

A funny little tragedy

A funny little tragedy

Yeah I dream about this day

Seeing you go down this way

Thats all I got to say

Maybe some day

If I see you again

Things will be different

And we can be friends

But for now I believe

You better walk away

The little soldier and me

We go our separate ways

I can watch you walking

Tears running down your face

It’s a funny little tragedy

A funny little tragedy

A funny little tragedy

Yeah, I dream about this day

Seeing you down this way

Thats all I got to say…
