Don't Be Careless Love

[Verse 1]

Burn the midnight lamp

Down until the dawn

I'll keep watch

Until I'm sure you're coming home

Shadows play

And flicker on the bedroom wall

They turn into a bad dream overnight

Something could be terribly wrong

[Chorus]

Don't be careless love[x2]

Don't be, don't be careless

[Verse 2]

In my dream you're running nowhere

Every step you've taken turns to glue

Walking down a spiral staircase

Failing through, failing through

Don't be careless love

Be careless love

The lamp burns down and out

I'm getting pretty tired of this

I feel so bad

Something might be going amiss

I won't be there

So look out for yourself

You're getting in deep whatever you do

Don't let me go back to sleep

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

Saw your face in the morning paper

Saw your body rolled up in a rug

Chopped up into two little pieces

By some thug

[Chorus]

Don't be careless love

Be careless love

[Verse 4]

But in the morning light

When I wake up again

You're by my side

And that's the way it's always been

But in the dark

Your mind plays funny tricks on you[x3]

[Outro]

Don't be careless love
