My head is like an unblocked drain My head is full of brains My instincts are to kiss this train I hear it coming You're conscience says "mind how you go" Your ulcer still says no Your morals ebb Your morals flow Your mouth is running The normal rules do not apply And mine is not to reason why Gone, gone, gone My arms are like two shipyard cranes That may not work again My fortunes wax My fortunes wane My senses sunder A cup would cheer The cheerless heart The path I dare not chart I look askance, not quite the part Someone has blundered The normal rules do not apply And mine is not to reason why Gone, gone, gone To all this scoundrel scheme of things To all the pain it brings To all those who pull the strings I said good riddance So pa** the time to coin a phrase I'll mint a million ways To counterfeit my salad days And split the difference The normal rules do not apply And mine is not to reason why The normal rules do not apply And mine is not to reason why Gone, gone, gone
