I fall outside of her She doesn't notice I fall outside of her She doesn't notice at all And mine is an empty bed I think she's forgotten And mine is an empty bed She's forgotten I know Put the brakes on Put the brakes on 'Cos I'm fading fast Can't find the link Between me and her He who was first's coming in last I fall outside of her And the trouble is there's no telling Just who's right or who's wrong Don't tell me that love is all there is I know don't I ? Don't crowd me pappy Got too much to think about The game's not lost If I say it's not And it's not Give me one more chance to do things right Don't crowd me pappy Got too much to think about There's no talking to her Talking to her I'll keep my thoughts to myself Unless I'm asked Like blemishes upon the skin Truth sets in Life's for the taking so they say Take it away I fall outside of her She doesn't notice She doesn't notice at all And mine is an empty bed I think she's forgotten All is bloated and far from truth Let's secure that reputation Place the dummy upon the roof Stitch him a tongue Give him proof Don't tell him love is all there is I know, I know Just pull the wool down over his eyes One more time Her heart's a foreign place I visited for a while And although I try to please her She came at night and stole my visa Come away now, run away now little man You'll not make sense of it Try as you might to understand Like blemishes upon the skin Truth sets in
