How could I tell you had more than usual to say?
The day that you left I sang, "Et tu Brute?"
And your old friend was telling me today
That you were singing exactly the same
And you were sick of yourself
And everybody else
And they're as thin, as white as snow
Your eyes as clear as ice
And you looked at me, I looked at you
Why, you did what you had to
"Say ah, say ah," the doctor said, "Say ah."
You've got to kick the town
The pubs that bleed you at night
Oh your town's fully furnished
A fly trap with traffic lights
And you were stuck to bars and bass guitars
And rooms and girls (dishwater blondes)
And faces - they don't want to know you -
They just want a shoulder to get p***** on
And it happened again -
The heart inquires why I didn't know then what I know now
How could I tell you had more than usual to say?
The day you left I sang "Et tu Brute?"
