Now my tender heart had hardened I'm taking walks in my dead garden I'm shooting marbles 'cross the floor In the maintenance closet at the grocery store
In my little black apartment I found love's secret compartment And now I keep my things inside That's my Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Somewhere back there I started drifting And I just drifted all away Now am I still the man you paid for? Am I something completely different in the night and in the day?
I was hideous and handsome And I held myself for ransom Yes I was honest and I lied That's my Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
And I know that you tried I was standing on the beautiful downtown skyscraper I was looking down the side
But beauty's frail and beauty's passing And she soon goes out of fashion Then she's just running down the drain She'll be always stuck somewhere between big joy and big pain
And although she'll always slay me I will make her be my baby Yes I will take her as my bride
There's a thousand ways to love her Open heart and undercover And I just never could decide That's my Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
