Well the wall's to wet to sit on And there's a curtain right over my head Stamp my feet waiting for a bus But decide to walk instead And the american saxophoner follows me All the way from the tele to the public house My fingers are always in my ears But the reeds always in their mouth And if you've ever crossed your heart and hoped to die The voices in your head saying you must cry Then there's more to you than meets the eye But if you go about your business with capital b They're sure to cut you up with a capital c And then you will be dead with a capital d Just step outside Well we could stop for a conversasion If we could think of anything to say But you know you've got nothing to talk about When nothing happened yesterday And if I ever commited a murder I think I'd go about it this way
Never mine a rope or a dagger and a cloak I could spend a week on this estate And if you've ever crossed your heart and hoped to die The voices in your head saying you must cry Then there's more to you than meets the eye But if you go about your business with capital b They're sure to cut you up with a capital c And then you will be dead with a capital a Just step outside What are you doing tomorrow And the day after and the day after that Got some money I can borrow? I've become the person I've admired And if you've ever crossed your heart and hoped to die The voices in your head saying you must cry Then there's more to you than meets the eye But if you go about your business with capital b They're sure to cut you up with a capital c And then you will be dead with a capital b
