Life is rich but it's way too short
You make a lot of money but you just want more
I don't need the pain right here in my heart
But I hate every minute when we're so far apart

It was love in a minute, it was love in a flash
It brings me no pleasure, just a stab in the back
It bring me no comfort, it bring me no peace
It's a weight on my shoulder, it's a fatal disease

So (I said) don't tear me up
I don't ever want to see your picture again
And don't poison my blood (I said don't tear me up)
I don't ever want to see your face here no more

Want to finish it quick, want to finish it clean
Don't want to be bitter, I don't want to be mean
I feel like we're driving down a dead-end street
Yeah, come so far, I want to crash the car, I want to land right on my feet

But I dream of you constantly
You'll be my angel of light
And in the dark rooms of sleeplessness
You'll be my lover each night

Life is a bitch but it's way too short
Unlike a politician, it just can't be bought
Think about the tenderness and think about the craziness
And if you ever want to hate me come and stick a knife right in my chest

I said don't tear me up
I said don't poison my blood
I don't ever want to see your picture again
 
 

TrackTalk

All the instruments and the vocals sound quite close to you, there's very little reverb. It's the antithesis of the Just Another Night sound. The fashion swung in the complete opposite direction.
