Day after day, love turns grey

Like the skin of a dying man

And night after night, we pretend it's all right

Dmi

But I have grown older and

Dmi

You have grown colder and

Dmi G7

Nothing is very much fun anymore.

And I can feel one of my turns coming on.

I , feel, cold as a razor blade

Dmi

Tight as a tourniquet

Dmi G7

Dry as a funeral drum

Run to the bedroom, in the suitcase on the left

You'll find my favourite ........ axe

Don't look so frightened

This is just a passing phase

Dmi

One of my bad days

Would you like to watch TV?

Or get between the sheets?

Dmi

Or contemplate the silent freeway?

Dmi

Would you like something to eat?

Would you like to learn to fly? Would you?

Dmi

Would you like to see me try?

.... Would you like to call the cops?

Do you think it's time I stopped?

Gm9

Why are you running away?
