I fall outside of her

She doesn't notice

I fall outside of her

She doesn't notice at all

And mine is an empty bed

I think she's forgotten

And mine is an empty bed

She's forgotten I know

Put the brakes on

Put the brakes on

'Cos I'm fading fast

Can't find the link

Between me and her

He who was first's coming in last

I fall outside of her

And the trouble is there's no telling

Just who's right or who's wrong

Don't tell me that love is all there is

I know don't I ?

Don't crowd me pappy

Got too much to think about

The game's not lost

If I say it's not

And it's not

Give me one more chance to do things right

Don't crowd me pappy

Got too much to think about

There's no talking to her

Talking to her

I'll keep my thoughts to myself

Unless I'm asked

Like blemishes upon the skin

Truth sets in

Life's for the taking so they say

Take it away

I fall outside of her

She doesn't notice

She doesn't notice at all

And mine is an empty bed

I think she's forgotten

All is bloated and far from truth

Let's secure that reputation

Place the dummy upon the roof

Stitch him a tongue

Give him proof

Don't tell him love is all there is

I know, I know

Just pull the wool down over his eyes

One more time

Her heart's a foreign place

I visited for a while

And although I try to please her

She came at night and stole my visa

Come away now, run away now little man

You'll not make sense of it

Try as you might to understand

Like blemishes upon the skin

Truth sets in
