Horizontal Departure Lyrics

And you said you'd never leave me

In fact you said you'd be my only one

I said you'd never grieve me baby

For things do when you are only having fun, fun.

You said you'd cry a river

I thought you meant you'd cry a river of tears

You'd rather die than live without me baby

But little girl you're so insincere

You know you count your blessings

But now I find that you were counting sheep, counting sheep

And then I try to court your feelings

I caught your eye and then you caught my cheek

All the trees [prisoners?] must come to view [feed?] now

And there you stood so proud the apple of my eye

You said you'd never leave me baby

But little girl that's the reason why

Whoa, that's why I have to leave you all alone

Whoa, that's why you have to leave me all alone

Let's go collect our prize now

So entertaining we were no-one no-one [number one, number one?]

The judge is hypnotized now

But after all we both fooled [bought the fool] for so damn long

So face the crowd and take a bow now, bow now

'Cos one more time and it will all be done

'Cos I must have been a show to you now baby

My next performance has just begun

Whoa, that's why I have to leave you all alone

Whoa, that's why you have to leave me all alone

Whoa, that's why I have to leave you all alone

Whoa, that's why you have to leave me all alone

Oh, Stop and think for a minute baby

As they bring the curtain down

Another drink then another, maybe

The toast might not make rounds [To do so nothing rhymes?]

I chose the style, the duck and the weaving [wheel?]

We were famous for And here's to him, and here's to yours and

You can thank me for the floor [... take the floor the floor]

Whoa, that's why I have to leave you all alone

Whoa, that's why you have to leave me all alone

I don't know, so you turned around and found another fool

I don't know, so you turned around and found another

I don't know, so you turned around and found another fool

I don't know, so you turned around and found another
