There's no sugar in the bowl, it empty,
There's no land of endless plenty,
You said "He's bad!", I knew you meant me,
Words you'd chosen so they'd dent me,
I'm living in the shadow of the past!
I knew that perfect love could never,
I knew that perfect love could never last!
Incessant rhythm.......
Some days I feel so low, I'm idle,
A sea that's feeling so not tidal,
I feel so low, I've read the bible,
One short step to homicidal,
I'm living in the shadow of the past!
I knew that perfect love could never,
I knew that perfect love could never last!
Incessant rhythm.......
The clock is ticking, oh so slowly,
Minute by minute, it starts to own me,
It strikes the hour, I rant unholy,
The ball's in the net? Then I'm the goalie,
I'm living in the shadow of the past!
I knew that perfect love could never,
I knew that perfect love could never last!
Incessant rhythm.......
I hear you gossip, giggling, chatting,
I'm the ball and you are batting,
Machine gun style, you're rat, tat, tatting,
I'm the wrestler pinned on the matting,
I'm living in the shadow of the past!
I knew that perfect love could never,
I knew that perfect love could never last!
Incessant rhythm.......
The hammer is slamming down relentless,
I'd be a coin, but you already spent this,
You're such a tease, you're such a temptress,
I'd borrow more luck, but you already lent this,
I'm living in the shadow of the past!
I knew that perfect love could never,
I knew that perfect love could never last!
I'm living in the shadow of the past!
I knew that perfect love could never,
I knew that perfect love could never last!
Incessant disappointment.......
Men!!!!
