Listen to the wind blow, watch the sun rise
Running in the shadows, damn your love, damn your lies

And if you don’t love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain (never break the chain)

All the late night bargains have been struck
Between the satin beaus and their belles
Prehistoric garbage trucks
Have the city to themselves

Echoes roars dinosaurs
They’re all doing the monster mash
And most of the taxis, most of the whores
Are only taking calls for cash

I don’t know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick

Well now my door was standing open
Security were laid back and lax
But it was only my heart that got broken
You must have had a pass key made out of wax

You played robbery with insolence
And I played the blues in twelve bars down Lover’s Lane
And you never did have the intelligence to use
The twelve keys hanging off from my chain

The evening is long
My kisses were true
It’s obviously you
That something you said
The timing was right
The pleasure was mine

The time and the place
The look on your face
Sincerest of eyes
If you’re ready or not
The state of the hearts
There’s no time to take

Where we started
Both broken hearted
Not believing
It could begin and end in one evening

Little black submarines
Operator, please
Put me back on the line
Told my girl I’d be back
Operator, please
This is wreckin’ my mind

Oh, can it be?
The voices calling me
They get lost and out of time
I should’ve seen it glow
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind
That a broken heart is blind

You must leave, now take what you need
You think will last
But whatever you wish to keep
You better grab it fast

Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Crying like a fire in the Sun
Look out baby, the saints are comin’ through
And it’s all over now, baby blue
