[Pre-Chorus 1] There you go…Again. Slamming the door in my disgrace. It was worth it though. This ebb and flow, affords, A glimpse of the girl I know. [thick 4-bar cello solo] [Chorus 1] The girl that slips to me, In the wee hours of the moonlight, when the rocks …run low. Leaving the fiends behind, [emphasis on ‘stem’ and not ‘her’] clutching her stem. My lighter, in her other-hand. Alit amidst, your cacophony, a spark of the girl-you-ought-to-be. [BRIDGE 1] But as it goes, it always goes. [emphasis on ‘purchase’] A battle gains purchase, and… Grows. When the rocks run low. But …for a moment… For a moment, Doll, [4-bar cello solo] [passionate, confident] You’re mine.!

Acceptin’ it, apologizin’. Until I’ve had enough, …attacks after-nothing. When it won’t stop, I stand up. [emphasis on nailing ‘too’] My truth stands too! And with it, what you’ve done. Doll… As it goes when the truth gets loose…Doll… You run away… You give up, and… It’s happening again …It happens every day!
