lyrics

Now, it’s been fifteen years and I can’t let go
You stick to me like glue, like gum under my shoe, oh
You’re all I’ve ever known, you rule my world
I can’t get over you, I belong to you!

I’ve been so unhappy while you’ve been having your fun
Fighting with your bare hands for a place in the sun
I’m so unhappy, I’m a slave to myself
Cause music is my husband, and he’s holding the chains

Now, it’s been fifteen years and I can’t recall
Why I did believe at all and thought it could work
Now I’m no one to them, then don’t know my name
But I’m still holding strong, there must be something wrong with me

I’ve been so unhappy while you’ve been having your fun
Fighting with your bare hands for a little place in the sun
I’m so unhappy, I’m a slave to myself
Cause music is my husband, and he’s holding the chains

Now it’s you and me, babe
The audience has left
Take my hand and hang tight babe
Are you ready to jump yet?
It’s the final show, my last goodbye
I left my heart on the stage tonight
Now it’s you and me, babe
On the road again
No money in the bank, babe
On this lonesome train
I take a bow for the very last time
And burn my guitar on the stage tonight
Now it’s you and me babe
Till the wheels come off
Will they notice we left, babe?
Will they notice we’re gone?
Will they notice we’re gone?
Will they notice we’re gone?

It’s no fun anymore, I put my heart on the line
For everyone to rummage through like a grape on a vine, oh
I’m so unhappy, I’m a slave to myself
Cause music is my husband, and he’s holding the chains
Cause music is my husband, and he’s holding the chains
Cause music is my husband, and he’s holding the chains
