Before I do

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.

There's no more fame to address

Did you impress?

In all fairness, yes

So just cancel my game

If it's all the same to you

I've had clear thoughts

Tied in black and blue knots

But you remember that I forgot

To track them down

To track you down

Track me down

Call me if you need my help

To watch you - help me, help you

I've tried it all before

(I've had a good time)

And it's not a lot of laughs

(My best one yet)

And there's a hole in my heart

You carried your vice twice

Like a basket full of roses

And the pearly gate now closes

With you inside

How should I drink to this?

My train's been stalled for ages

And this means me standing still

With a first class ticket

So stick me with it

I'll stick with it

Just call me if you need my help

To watch you - help me, help you

I'm usually in mourning

(I've had a good time)

In the afternoon and night

(My best one yet)

Otherwise I'm asleep

(I never had enough time)

At least I've got a lot of room

And the alarm is set for noon

(To play you my "love you" set)

And it's gonna go off

Before I do

(I've had a good time)

(Speaking during instrumental)

So he was in this, this hospital

Checkin' out the phone he misunderstood

And I was speakin' firmly, very talkatively at the time

And he was walking around with a dress on

Totally dressed with, with his arm down

And he said, I dunno what I'm doing here

I'm a business man

He didn't come and tell me

They totally misunderstood me you know

This is a whole, whole mistake here

This is a whole fuckin' mistake

But I can't explain it and they don't wanna listen to me

You know, you know this

No they didn't, they didn't listen to me

You can't help it

I couldn't explain it, but business is business

And then there's fuckin' this other time

This fuckin' town, they didn't wanna let me out

They didn't wanna let me telephone you directly

These bastards

These bastards stuck me in here and I wanted to talk to my lawyer

Now I'm totally pissed, man

You're the first guy I've met since I, since I got here

Now what, what should I do?

Look, maybe you can help me out here

Maybe you can get me out of here

The hell with the girl

I don't care who you are

I run 10 kilometres a day

And they put me down for a nice, nice long stay

Anyway now I'm here for a while now

You know, I'll just have a good time
