[Verse 1] Whatever floats your boat's your lifestyle choices You take a little coke and ride wild horses But when I talk to you I don't hear voices [Verse 2] I get to live a life as if by proxy I shouldn't be surprised you'd try and stop me Forever it's Spring for you, not for me [Chorus 1] I am a broken man, and I won't make a fuss I will be gone before you miss me, my love [Verse 3] In writing from the edge, your correspondent He won't let you forget that he's despondent But you're unavailable for any comment [Verse 4] Just livin' for the day of our next encounter I never found a way to live without her I'm sorry to say it, I know it's a downer [Chorus 2] The provocation of desire's often mundane Never complain, never explain, my love
