It's the same old moonlight,
It's the same old song,
It's the same old feeling again,
It's the same old story,
It's the same old tears,
It's the same old shattering pain.
I stood on a platform,
I stood on a train,
I stood in the tropical heat,
In the same old country,
In the same old rain,
Where we danced and our feet got too weak.
You know me so well,
A lover can tell,
I'm calling you,
Out of the blue.
Hangin' on by a thread,
Won't be long, we'll be dead,
It's the same, same old song,
May be right, could be wrong.
Hangin' on by a thread,
Won't be long, we'll be dead.
Should have seen it coming,
Well I probably did,
You could say I was the king of the fools,
I tried and I tried,
But I just couldn't hide,
You know I couldn't stick to the rules.
You know me so well,
A lover can tell,
I'm calling you,
Out of the blue.
Hangin' on by a thread,
Won't be long, we'll be dead.
