Day after day, love turns greyLike the skin of a dying manAnd night after night, we pretend it's all right((#Notes|2))But I have grown older andYou have grown colder andNothing is very much fun anymore.
And I can feel one of my turns coming on.I feel, cold as a razor bladeTight as a tourniquetDry as a funeral drum,
Run to the bedroom, in the suitcase on the leftYou'll find my favourite axeDon't look so frightenedThis is just a passing phaseOne of my bad days((#Notes|3))Would you like to watch T.V.?Or get between the sheets?Or contemplate the silent freeway?Would you like something to eat?Would you like to learn to fly? Would you?((#Notes|4))Would you like to see me try? Ooh no((#Notes|5))
Would you like to call the cops?Do you think it's time I stopped?Why are you running away?
