  • Agnes just stop and think a minute
    Why don't you light that cigarette and
    Calm down now stop and breathe a second
    Go back to the very beginning

    Can't you see what was different then?
    You were just popping Percocet
    Maybe just four a week at best
    Maybe a smoke to clear the head

    Your head is so numb
    That nervous breath you try to hide
    Between the motions
    That trembling tender little sigh

    And so it goes
    A choking rose back
    To be reborn
    I want to hold you like you're mine

    You see the sad in everything a
    Genius of love and loneliness and
    This time you overdid the liquor
    This time you pulled the fuckin' trigger

    These days you're rolling all the time
    So low so you keep getting high
    Where went that cheeky friend of mine?
    Where went that billion dollar smile?

    Guess life is long
    When soaked in sadness
    On borrowed time
    From Mr Madness

    And so it goes
    A choking rose back
    To be reborn
    I want to hold you like you're mine

    You're gone but you're on my mind
    I'm lost but I don't know why
    You're gone but you're on my mind
    I'm lost but I don't know why
    You're gone but you're on my mind
    I'm lost but I don't know why
    You're gone but you're on my mind
    I'm lost but I don't know why
    You're gone but you're on my mind
    I'm lost but I don't know why
    You're gone but you're on my mind
    I'm lost but I don't know why
    You're gone but you're on my mind
    I'm lost but I don't know why
    You're gone but you're on my mind
    I'm lost but I don't know why Writer/s: David Algernon Bayley
