rock 'n' roll suicide

time takes a cigarette

puts it in your mouth

you pull on your finger

then another finger

then your cigarette

the wall-to-wall is calling

it lingers

then you forget

oh

you're a rock 'n' roll suicide

you're too old to lose it

too young to choose it

and the clock waits so patiently on your song

you walk past a cafe but you don't eat when you've lived too long

oh

no

no

no

you're a rock 'n' roll suicide

chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road

but the day breaks instead so you hurry home

don't let the sun 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 watching yourself 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 and you're not alone

let's turn on with me and you're not alone

let's turn on and be not alone

gimme your hands cause you're wonderful

oh gimme your hands.
