Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth

You pull on your finger, then another finger, then cigarette

The wall-to-wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget

Ohhh, 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 and be not alone 

Gimme your hands, 'cause you're wonderful

Gimme your hands, 'cause you're wonderful

Oh, gimme your hands
