(riff 1)
Crown prince of the crying jag,
(riff 1)
Stuffed a towel in his mouth to gag.
(riff 2)
Oh my darling I never knew
(riff 2)
How hard it was to get rid of you.
(riff 1)
I smashed on our virgin date,
(riff 1)
Tell me, how did I reach that state?
(riff 2)
The day ends again, and then
(riff 2)
My darling here comes your breakdown and then...

(riff 1)
Struck down by my own device
(riff 1)
Sweet Jesus-ice-cold-Christ.
(riff 2)
You drowned in the dining room
(riff 2)
Resurrection sure came too soon.
(riff 1)
God it's cold in this room
(riff 1)
Hopped up on fever's croon
(riff 2)
Just two more love dumb fools
(riff 2)
Here comes your breakdown and then...

(riff 1)
Loading the gun again
(riff 1)
Dead lead goes in and then
(riff 2)
Catch as catch can and can't
(riff 2)
catch cold and fall apart
(riff 1)
Cold as a distant star
(riff 1)
Hot as a stolen car
(riff 2)
I choke on this heart of hate
(riff 2)
Sometimes I find it hard to get things straight.
