YOU WERE STANDING IN THE SUN
WITH YOUR DETOX BRACELET ‘ROUND
YOUR ARM…YOUR BEAUTIFUL ARM
HOW QUICKLY THINGS CAN CHANGE
FROM SUNLIGHT TO POURING RAIN
WHEN YOU'RE DANCIN ROUND THE EDGE OF DISASTER
THE TRAINS GO FLYING BY YOU
WHEN YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES YOU'RE
SITTING IN THE CLUB CAR LAUGHING
NOW THE PAIN HAS FOUND YOU
BUT JUST LOOK AROUND YOU
THERE ARE GIFTS OF DESPERATION EVERYWHERE
NOW YOU'RE WALKING ‘ROUND THE YARDS
WRITIN LETTERS, PLAYIN CARDS
WITH STRANGERS…BEAUTIFUL STRANGERS
WANT TO HEAR YOUR LAUGH AGAIN
WANT TO SEE YOU SMILE YOUR LOPSIDED GRIN
WE ALMOST KILLED YOU WITH OUR LOVE AND KINDNESS
THE TRAINS GO FLYING BY YOU
WHEN YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES YOU'RE
SITTING IN THE CLUB CAR LAUGHING
NOW THE PAIN HAS FOUND YOU
BUT JUST LOOK AROUND YOU
AT THE GIFTS OF DESPERATION EVERYWHERE
YOU WERE STANDING IN THE SUN
WITH YOUR DETOX BRACELET ‘ROUND
YOUR ARM…YOUR BEAUTIFUL ARM
