TITLE. LYRICS

Concert version

Morning seems strange, almost out of place
Searched hard for you and your special ways

Spent all my time, learnt a killer's art
Took threats and abuse till I'd learned the part
Can you stay for these days?

Used outward deception to get away
Broken heart romance to make it pay

We'll drift through it all, it's the modern age
Take care of it all now these debts are paid
Can you stay for these days?
