Your old lover's lying in the gutter
|
He used to be such an all night strutter
|
"Oh, my heart," I heard him mutter
|
"Oh, my dear, it seems to flutter"
|
Ah, ah
|
It's so hard to say "No"
|
When the deck is stacked to only go slow
|
It's easy sweet to live it up
|
An easy street when you've had enough
|
Ah, ah
|
|
Darkened night, splashing light
|
Soft and white and so polite
|
Let him in, beneath the rim
|
Beneath the skin, your next of kin
|
Cleansing fire, funeral pyre
|
Broken wire grown inside her
|
Secret hush, swollen rush
|
It's soft and plush, it's so plush
|
|
You know it's so passe
|
To sleep without you every day
|
So easy to do your stuff
|
So easy to live it up
|
Ah, ah
|
