Standard (EADGBE)

Day after day, love turns grey

 Like the skin of a dying man

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

 But I have grown older and

You have grown colder and

Nothing is very much fun anymore.

 And I can feel one of my turns coming on.

I feel, cold as a razor blade

Tight as a tourniquet

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

 One of my bad days

Would you like to watch T.V.?

 Or get between the sheets?

 Or contemplate the silent freeway?

Would you like something to eat?

 Would you like to learn to fly? Would you?

 Would you like to see me try?

Would you like to call the cops?

Do you think it's time I stopped?

Why are you running away?
