While there′s still a fighting chance

Can't you just get up and go

And get away from this hollow romanceIt′s slowly binding us both

Because you'll tell me what you want and I'll avoid it

Tell it to the sick and to the damned

Show me what you love, watch me destroy it

For love just crumbles in my hands

But if you stay for a while

I′ll try to think of something kind to say

And maybe if we pray for a while

St. Jude might hear my please

And see me on my bended knees

Because she knows how I adore you

We won′t be fighting again tonight

Not if she knows I adore you

There won't be no fighting in the streets

I laugh and fall just like Grimaldi

You wear your make-up like Baby Jane

All of those promising lies that you told me

Come on and tell me them again

Oh well, I walked these streets all of my life

The fear and hope at every turn

She took him to Stepney and made him a wife

Oh you know yeah you know they′ll crash and burn

Because she'll tell him what she wants and he′ll avoid it

Tell it to the sick and to the damned

Show him what you love, watch him destroy it

For love seems to crumble in his hands

But if you stay for a while

I'll try to think of something nice to say

Maybe we could pray for a while

St. Jude might hear my please

And see me on my knees

She knows how I adore you

We won′t be fighting again tonight

She knows I adore you

There won't be no fighting in the streets
