Private Life

the flashlights and echoes paint your suicide

they say that you had a name

we talked, you were fit to die

on your own again

never take it any more, you say

and you're never going to play again

never take it any more, you say

and you're never going to play again

only i could see it in her eyes

and you wait, like you've waited all your life

a modern waste of modern time

we could ruin you

welcome to your private life

wide-eyed on mother's medication

they always asked for more heartbreak

stilletos cut like razors on a mannequin

never take it any more, you say

and you're never going to play again

never take it any more, you say

and you're never going to play again

and you just see the whites of her eyes

and you wait, like you've waited all your life

a modern waste of modern time

we could ruin you

welcome to your private life

and they took it all away

outlived all the dreams you would die for

save this queen, they think she's an idol

and you wait, like you've waited all your life

for such a beautiful decline

a wasted youth, wasted you

and your private life
