Ain't it a shame? Ain't it a crime?
When everyone around is thinking "I" and "me" and "mine"
Misty blue, be my colour for today
'cos I feel a mountain movin' underway
Oh I only hope I make it by
'case I'm needed when I'm older
And if I should die in my sleep
If I pray and there's no-one to turn to
If I suddenly feel that life's too tough
I fall into the arms of the one that I love
Can't you see, there is a better way for us
Deep inside the arms of morpheus
Ain't it a shame? Ain't it a sin?
In lookin' for a loser we see no-one ever wins
Misty blue, be my friend for just today
I don't mind it if you blow them all away
Oh I only pray that I get by
'case I'm needed when I'm older
And if I should die in my sleep
If I pray and there's no-one to turn to
If I suddenly feel that life's too tough
I fall into the arms of the one that I love
Can't you see, there is a better way for us
Deep inside the arms of morpheus
Oh now, now I see
I guess I should honoured for a page in your diary
Oh yeah, it's good to be free
I'm glad I got away before you ruined me
When I'm down I'm high at home
It feels good to be alone
And I guess it's you that taught me why
Ain't it a shame? Ain't it a crime?
If I die tomorrow, baby,
Would I be leaving much behind?
And if I should die in my sleep
If I pray and there's no-one to turn to
If I suddenly feel that life's too tough
I fall into the arms of the one that I love
Can't you see, there is a better way for us
Can't you see, there is a better way for us
So deep in the arms
of morpheus
