I never thought I'd be the one to leave you so well a-lone
But bit by bit I find that I'm bound to be still bound for home
The mad arrangement of my days
My descent into beige
My final masquer-ade is slipping away
Was I the one who took the shirt off your back
The shine off your shoes
Well never think you'd have to thank me for that
You've nothing to lose
And even though I rigged the game
There must be someone else to blame
Who can hang their head in shame
Don't look at me
So that we could have a flutter on the better life
You went and borrowed money from a poltergeist
I never thought I'd be the one to leave you so well a-lone
But bit by bit I find that I'm bound to be still bound for home
The mad arrangement of my days
My descent into beige
My final masquer-ade is slipping away
