Next Time Round |
As I stepped out upon the landing my heart was already down the stairs |
She’s in the bedroom with that boy of hers |
Though her face is creased and her eyes seem strange |
There’s a second-hand emotion on a battered forty-five |
My tears were never enough to keep that girl alive |
Now she seems contrite will she make the change |
The next time around |
You’ll be someone else’s baby |
But I’ll be underground |
The next time around |
Then you took two steps forward and then one step on your back |
Now it’s a future for me and you that I lack |
You’ll be the one who’ll stands out in the dark |
Even when you’re all dressed in black |
You’ve got something I want now |
And I’ve got something I can’t hide |
I’ve got too much love for you now |
Have you got too much pride |
Sometimes I name and number all the things you gave to me |
Your elastic love, this velvet-line purgatory |
You used to take the breath out of me |
Now I think you’ll be the death of me |
You’ll be in some sputnik baby |
But I’ll be underground |
The next time around |
