I saw you at the police station
And it breaks my heart to say
Your eyes had wandered off to something
Distant, cold and grey

I guess you didn't see it coming
Someone's gotten used to slumming
Dreaming of the golden years
I see you had to change careers
Far away
But we both know it's somewhere

I saw you on the back page of
Some pre press yesterday
The drip wood in your eyes had nothing
Short of love for pain

I know you from another picture
Of someone with the most convictions
We used to read the funny papers
Fooled around and pulled some capers
Not today, send a message to her
A message that I'm coming
Coming to pursue her

Tell your country I
Rest my face on your bed
I've got you ten times over and I'll
Chase you down 'til you're dead

I saw you on a TV station and
It made me wanna pray
An empty shell of loveliness is
Now dusted with decay

What happened to the funny paper?
Smiling was your money maker
Someone oughta situate her
Find a way to educate her
All the way, time to come and find you
You can't hide from me girl
So never mind what I do

Tell your country I
Rest my face on your bed
I bet my sovereign country and I
Left it all for your head

I saw you in the church and
There was no time to exchange
You were getting married and
It felt so very strange

I guess I didn't see it coming
Now I guess it's me who's bumming
Dreaming of the golden years
You and I were mixing tears
Not today, not for me but someone
I never could get used to
So now I will refuse to

Tell your country I
Rest my face on your bed
I bet my sovereign country and I
Left it all for your head

I got my best foot forward and I'll
Chase you down 'til you're dead
