Quiet please, turn it off, shut it downSlow down your tan, I'm gonna miss you a lot There it goes... Your tears again... This is no fun...There it goes... Your tears again... As you walk away...Then it's hard to tell what kind, they do look alike Oh no that ain't what I saidOh no that ain't what I said Always trying to fall asleep to make my way out Looking at the ceiling, I'm counting the days There it goes... Your man is down to the bottom...There it goes... Your man is willing to cooperate...Then it's hard to tell you kindly that ain't what I'm like Guess I'd better find us a way out"One time too many" I saidIt's a long way to look alikeThat is what you say Slow down your tan. I'm gonna miss you a lot There it goes... Your ID's been stolen...They wave their hands goodbye... As you walk away...Then it's hard to tell who's kind, they do look alike Oh no that ain't what I saidOh no that ain't what I said Guess I'd better find us a way out"One time too many" I saidIt's a long way to look alikeThat is what you say

So you've got your own little story to tell Some girls they ask to put them on your knees Slowdown, it's hard enough to get along Slowdown, we'll never ever get along That ain't what you had in mind No that ain't what you had in mind You don't know what you're doing Let goIt's so hard to fill me inYou'd better run as fast as you canWhen your eyes are getting lowTomorrow'll say if you're lost and found Walking around thinking the same againTo get to you I'll go down on my kneesLast night I swear it wouldn't be the same Last night I swear it never was the same Two is for a while but then one has got to leave That's it! I ain't lying and I won't ask you please I'll tell you what I have in mind Let goIt's so hard to fill me inYou'd better run as fast as you canWhen your eyes are getting lowTomorrow'll say if you're lost and found I'll tell you what I have in mindIt's so hard to fill me inYou'd better run as fast as you can

Go out and tell the societyThe talk of the town is on its wayThis is not bad only seriousDo understand, don't turn your back on me Doesn't matter heads or tails People know my sins, I'm overwhelmed It's the darkest night in a long long time I¹ve been up all night And walked up and down the stairs No complaints no echoes I'm trying to be good, Ain't trying to behave well Sometimes in the fall, fall, fall, fallThere'll be nothing to keep you far from meBefore I am long long long gone There'll be nothing to keep me away Every night at seven o'clockEvery day at six in the morning tooPeople calling me up hereDidn't even take some time to look at them I'm long gone If you're walking around then I'll go out too You¹ve been awake all night I¹ve been lying on you thinking the same Lonely and forsaken Would you mind just to try a little less? Sometimes in the fall, fall, fall, fallThere'll be nothing to keep you far from me Before I am long long long gone There'll be nothing to keep me away And it goes on and on and on, it's everlasting It's always the same when you're next to me Sometimes in the fall, fall, fall, fall There'll be nothing to keep me away Long goneMany eyes to see for meOnly yours to cry on my ashesLong goneIt's the darkest night and I'm far from you You¹ve been awake all night He's a Nobel Prize I said Too many eyes to see for me Only yours to cry on my ashes Long gone If the countdown on the Eiffel Tower Could show less than ten but more than a hundred Tired to look at your photographs That night through the phone you¹ve been asking for more Sometimes in the fall, fall, fall, fallThere'll be nothing to keep you far from me Before I am long long long gone There'll be nothing to keep me away And it goes on and on and on, it's everlasting It's always the same when you're next to me Sometimes in the fall, fall, fall, fall There'll be nothing to keep me away
