While there's still a fighting chance Can't you just get up and go And get away from this hollow romance It's slowly binding us both Because you'll tell me what you want and I'll avoid it Tell it to the sick and to the damned Show me what you love, watch me destroy it For love just crumbles in my hands
But if you stay for a while.. I'll try to think of something kind to say And maybe if we pray for a while St. Jude might hear my pleas And see me on my knees
Because she knows how I adore you We won't be fighting again tonight Not if she knows I adore you No fighting again tonight..
I laugh and fall just like Grimaldi You wear your make-up like Baby Jane All of those promising lies that you told me Come on and tell me them again
Oh well, I walked these streets all of my life.. The fear and hope at every turn She took him to Stepney and made him a wife oh you know yeah you know they'll crash and burn
Because she'll tell him what she wants and he'll avoid it May as well tell it to the sick and to the damned Show him what you love, watch him destroy it For love seems to crumble in his hands
