I'm talking to you
 All up the hole in your arm
 Is the needle a much better screw?
 But oh  what will you do alone?
 'Cos I have to go.

 Where is this life of fun that you promised me?
 Nothing here works but your works and I mean it
 I have to leave
 But oh  what will you do alone?
 'Cos I have to go.

 If I was the wife of an acrobat would I look like the living dead  boy?
 You're on the wire and can't get back, let's talk about the living dead
 Could have had a car, could have had it all,
 Could have walked in the sky but we stare at the wall.

 I know where the money's gone--
 I know what you do
 'Cos I've seen the hole in your arm and
 The needle's a much better screw
 But oh, what will you do alone?
 'Cos I have to go
