The mood I'm in

I can't explain.

It's black and white and

Much worse than pain.

And fear of this

So clearly nice

Is next to that

But not exactly.



It's obvious

So plain to see

That I'm not as dumb as

You'd like me to be.

I'll take my chance

On your wheel tonight...

But I won't fall out

So don't act tough -

It's not enough.



[chorus]:

No footsteps on the stairs (tonight),

No cigarettes for me to light,

No heavy scented clothes to fall to the floor...

But I'll hear your call,

And when you're not there,

You're walking on air.



(I'm) ashamed enough -

Just let me down.

'Cause I've bled enough

To leave this town.

From east to west,

North to south -

The leeches crawl from hand to mouth...

And now my strength,

Is almost out...

It's running out.
