A Version Of A Life

Turn off the light,
there's no-one there
It's just your friends,
they've come to stare
Ask your friends what they
need, they need to
drain and bleed
That's what friends are for,
that's what friends are for
We meet on an empty street,
eyes flicker recognition,
don't meet
If I was you I'd rather not
I'll pass to go, you are full stop
You pick up a rumour,
malignant vocal tumour
Pass the poison round
Live it up and live it down
Pass the poison round
Live it up and live it down
A cloud bursts over the river,
the bills still need paying
Don't look to me for tears,
I've cried myself dry
I've cried myself dry,
I've cried myself dry
A version of a life is what you
live you know
If you lose any more face,
you'll disappear without a trace
Without a trace
A version of a life is what you
live you know
Someone gave me the whisper, a
shiver ran through the industry
Every word sticks in my throat,
like a needle, herring-bone coat
I've been around,
I've been around,
I've been around and round
and round and round
and round and round
Around and round
It's time to wind down now
It's time to wind down...
