In my dream you were stronger than ever

built ten feet tall

and tougher than a Stacey's leather

and in this dream you were stronger

than real life

and in this dream you turned him

down

when the wheel cogs choked to kick

up blood -

and spit out everything you ever

wanted,

baby leave that man

turn him down

leave that man

but some cold nights

are colder than others

and you can lose your small body

in the hot skin of another

this lifeboats leaving soon, girl,

when I say I' gone, I'm gone and I

mean forever

and when the spirit of temptation

comes to take you, girl,

I know it's never easy,

baby leave that man

turn him down

leave that man

you are everything to me, girl

you are all god's charity

you are everything good in my life

and if I should lose my balance

you keep me down with gravity

now everything's upside down

this lifeboats leaving soon, girl,

when I say I'm gone I mean forever

all things I did, and all the things we

did together

baby leave that man...
