Clucked in rain
Clothed in black like the stars,
so wrapped up in yourself you are
The needle tastes sweeter by far
than the cold light of day
And as you become enslaved
To the puppy that you create
There is nothing I can do to save you
From slipping away
And I just want it, just need it to say,
I hate to see you wasting away,
just wasting away.
So when you just can't take it anymore
And the night becomes too full of pain
You reach for the comfort
of your wet stallion again
And I just wanted, just needed to say
I hate to see you wasting away,
just wasting away
Just wasting away
I've seen the fire die away,
I've seen the sunset in your eyes
I've seen the darkness coming down
and I just needed to say
goodbye
So you're dancing with the candy man
He's saving the last words for you
And as he leads you away by the hand
There is nothing I can do
There is nothing I can do
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
