once when i was all alone i called you and you weren t at home my heart fell like a stone to the ground to the ground to the ground why when morn had dawned on me and anger grew like ecstasy and leda threw the swan on me and i fell to the ground to the ground to the ground chorus oh don t say i want you don t stay this way believe me i wasn t trying to play the game where someone s to blame i ll stay the same til you change your mind and you ll change your mind i could have broken you i should have spoken for you you should have seen it was turning me on don t you know it s true there are worse things perverse things you should answer when the phone rings there are worse things i could do once when i was all alone i could not find the telephone so instead i burned your pretty home to the ground to the ground to the ground chorus
