Shivers

I’ve been contemplating suicide

But it really doesn’t suit my style

So I guess I’ll just act bored instead

And contain the blood I woulda shed

She makes me feel so ill at ease

My heart is really on its knees

But I wear a poker face so well

That even mother couldn’t tell

And my baby’s so vain

she’s almost a mirror

And the sound of her name

Sends a permanent shiver

down my spine

I keep her photo against my heart

Cause in my life she plays a starring part

All alcohol and cigarettes

There is no room for cheap regret

She makes me feel so ill at ease

My heart is really on its knees

But I wear a poker face so well

That even mother couldn’t tell

And my baby’s so vain she’s almost a mirror

And the sound of her name

Sends a permanent shiver

down my spine
