Don't Be Careless Love

Burn the midnight lamp down until the dawn I'll keep watch until I'm sure you're coming home Shadows play and flicker on the bedroom wall They turn into a bad dream overnight Something could be terribly wrong Don't be careless love Don't be careless love Don't be, don't be careless love In my dreams you're running nowhere Every step you've taken turns to glue Walking down a spiral staircase Falling through, falling through Don't be careless love Don't be careless love The lamp burns down and out I'm getting pretty tired of this I feel so bad, something must be going amiss I won't be there so look out for yourself You're getting in deep whatever you do Don't let me go back to sleep Don't be careless love Don't be careless love Don't be, don't be careless love Saw your face in the morning paper Saw your body rolled up in a rug Chopped up into two little pieces By some thug Don't be careless love, be careless love But in the morning light When I wake up again, you're by my side And that's the way it's always been But in the dark your mind plays funny tricks on you Your mind plays funny tricks on you Your mind plays funny tricks on you Don't be careless love
