time takes a cigarette

puts it in your mouth

you pull on your finger, then another finger, then a cigarette

the wall-to-wall's calling,it lingers, then you forget

you're a rock and roll suicide

you're too old to lose it,

too youeng to choose it,

and the clock waits so patiently on your song

you walk past the cafe,

but you don't eat when you've lived too long

you're a rock and roll suicide

chev brakes are snarling

as you stumble across the road

but day breaks instead so you hurry home

don't let th esun blast your shadow

don't let the milk float, ride your mind.

you're so natural, religiously unkind

oh no love! you're not alone

you're wathcing yoursel but you're too unfair

you got your head all tangled up, but if i could only make you care

oh no love! you're not alone

no matter what or who you've been

no matter when or where you've seen

all the knives seem to lacerate your brain

i've had my share,

i'll help you with the pain

you're not alone just turn on with me

you're not alone let's turn on and be

you're not alone, gimmie your hands

you're wonderful, gimmie your hands

'cause your wonderful, gimmie your hands
