I wouldn't hurt you for the world Even though yesterday I know I let you down You were naked on the table In the arms of another woman On the other side of town I left you laughing with a stranger But I confess that I knew She was gonna bring you pain When she offered you a needle It was long and it was shining And I saw it bring you down Phosphorescent lights harshly sounding The buzzing in my ears getting louder Flies bash their brains against the window pane Let's get out of here I wouldn't hurt you for the world And the worst of it is I've got to take you back again And I don't know how I'll make it Maybe someone else should hold you On the other side of town Trees are dying in the middle of the courtyard The daughter in the doorway wanted silver The other woman is already leaving Let's get out of here I wouldn't hurt you for the world And the worst of it is I've got to take you back again for much more pain And I don't know how I'll make it Maybe someone else should hold you Next time
