Lyrics

Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Now my tender heart is hardened

I'm taking walks in my dead garden

I'm shooting marbles 'cross the floor

In the maintenance closet at the grocery store

In my little black apartment

I found love's secret compartment

And now I keep my things inside

That's my Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

Somewhere back there I started drifting

And I just drifted all away

Now am I still the man you paid for

Am I something completely different in the night and in the day

I was hideous and handsome

And I held myself for ransom

I was honest and I lied

That's my Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

And I know that you tried

Oh, I was standing on the beautiful downtown skyscraper

I was looking down the side

Beauty's frail and beauty's passin'

And she soon goes out of fashion

And she's just runnin' down the drain

She'll be always stuck somewhere between big joy and big pain

And although she'll always slay me

I will make her be my baby

Yes I will take her as my bride

There's a thousand ways to love her

Open heart or undercover

And I just never could decide

That's my Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
