Hanging off the bridge by a fingernail

Trapped in the harbour when the ship set sail

Boy you're one card short of the pack

Begging for your baby to take you back

Stubbed a cigarette out on his hand

Scrawls her name across the sand

But it disappears like King Canute

The tide didn't like his attitude

Always shadowboxing

Face up and throw your gloves in

Lose your imaginary friends

Always good for nothing

She can't ever love him

No man is ever innocent

Bouncing off the walls with no wish to land

Erase your fingerprints and your retina scan

'Cause there's no point in the life that he should lead

Chain his leg to a piano and sink through the weeds

Gone are all the dreams that last forever

He towed the line when never meant never

They had something better than the cynical beast

Weren't sucked in by the popular disease

Always shadowboxing

Face up and throw your gloves in

Lose your imaginary friends

Always good for nothing

She can't ever love him

No man is ever innocent
