lyrics

Thought I was a gypsy boy
I was just a sickness breeding
You were but a poor tormented clown

I walked into the cancer ward
I was all the sickness breathing
Call me when the acid kicks in
You were in the territory cleaning

I met you in a ghostly town
You were my dishevelled starlet
I am but a poor lamented freak

Don't you know that starlets drown?
I was all germinating
Call me when the acid kicks in
You were in the bathtub screaming

Don't you go
I haven't got anybody else to show
Please don't stay
I haven't got anything positive to say
Don't you know?
I never want to be alone

Murphy was the magnet child
I was just a southern accent
You are now a poor dishevelled freak

I laughed when the passionfruit died
I pull myself up to the magnet
Don't you know that starlet's high?
I was in the gypsy convent

Don't you go
I haven't got anybody else to show
Please don't stay
I haven't got anything positive to say
Don't you know?
I never want to be alone
