You're the first one to get there
E G A G E G A G
And always the last one to leave
A C D C A C D C
You're the first one to chuckle
E G A G E G A G
But the last one to grieve

Please don't talk about... murder while I'm eating

E G A G E G A G
I try to keep things simple... but you always need the works
A C D C A C D C
Your life is marked... by numbers and symbols
E G A G E G A G
Excessive drinking.. from out of golden thimbles

Please don't talk about... murder while I'm eating

E G A G E G A G
You get all hot’n’bothered.. at the strangest times and places
E G A G E G A G
But don't notice the looks... on all the other faces
A C D C A C D C
You're dressed for summer... in the middle of December
E G A G E G A G
What you've all but forgotten... I painfully remember
