What's up with my heart when it skips a beat

Can't feel no pavement right under my feet

Up in my lonely room

When I'm dreaming of you

Oh what can I do

I still need you, but

I don't want you now

When I'm down and my hands are tied

I cannot reach a pen for me to draw the line

From this pain I just can't disguise

It's gonna hurt but I'll have to say goodbye

Are you still talking to

All of those dead film stars

Like you used to

And are you still thinking of

All of those pretty rhymes

And perfect crimes

Like you used to love

And if you're still alive

When you're twenty five

Shall I kill you like you asked me to

If you're still alive

When you're twenty five

Shall I kill you I know you told me to

But I really don't want to

I remember all of the thing-things said to me

Until ... calvary

Ah you said, you said new love grows on trees

New love grows on trees

New love grows on... new love grows on trees

Are you still shaking out

All the dead wood from your bed love

Well times don't change and you're still thinking of

All of those pretty rhymes for love divine

Oh no, you really don't have to

I remember when I saw the sea freeze

But it said nothing about the birds and the bees

They were swarming around my head

You'd be better off dead

But I ain't going down like that

I ain't going down like that

Cos I'm better than him and I know where I've been

You know where god I'm bound

And I'm higher to sin but don't we all sin

If that is the truth then the truth is grim

Now it ain't easy in jail, the stories for sale

Your father has died while he's gripped for bail

He points to the west and he leaves out the rest

And wants you to be his special guest
