You could live in the shadows, you could call them your friends,
But then all they'll allow you is a scantily clad skeleton.

I anticipate your deep concern,
Believe me, all my bridges burned,
Long ago, I revelled in that loathsome deed,
So from upper rooms and empty tombs, love's fallen down on me,
So, you see, I do not need your sympathy.

Got a tongue like a serpent, and you speak with...with a hiss,
And you lie through your gold teeth, and your friends - they're pathetic.

I anticipate your deep concern,
Believe me, all my bridges burned,
Long ago, I revelled in that loathsome deed,
Now from upper rooms and empty tombs, love's fallen down on me,
So, you see, I do not need your sympathy.

Saw you out among the patients when they took you all out for a walk,
You tried to grab me...grab me through the chain link, but my dad says I really shouldn't talk.

I anticipate your deep concern,
Believe me, all my bridges burned,
Long ago, I revelled in that loathsome deed,
So from upper rooms and empty tombs, love's fallen down on me,
So, you see, I do not need your sympathy.
