lyrics

I've got a new place for smoking
I've got a new bed to sleep
My new skirts are more provoking
My tights aren't cheap
New houses, new doors, and new windows
Are opening and closing for me
All for me
Just for me
They fling open

Got plenty of new streets to walk through
And a dozen of new shops at hand
New taxis, new drivers to talk to
But they don't understand
Why don't I remember the number
Of my house and the name of my lane

I tell you what I tell, I tell you what
You're worth living, but things I have are not
I tell you what I tell, I tell you what
There's nothing so constant, it chokes me like a slipknot

I'm changing my life for ages
I'm changing my place for years
The people around are strangers
The strangest are queers
They'll wither away, I guess, someday
But I don't care for them if you stay
Please, stay

I tell you what I tell, I tell you what
You're worth living, but things I have are not
I tell you what I tell, I tell you what
There's nothing so constant, it chokes me like a slipknot

I tell you what
Stay
I tell you what
Stay
I tell you what
Stay
I tell you what
Stay

All I've got dissolves the next day
What's to be done?
Don't know what's to come
Something new appears the next day
Everything ends
And yet I wish you could delay

I tell you what I tell, I tell you what
You're worth living, but things I have are not
I tell you what I tell, I tell you what
There's nothing so constant, it chokes me like a slipknot

All I've got dissolves the next day
What's to be done?
Don't know what's to come
Something new appears the next day
Everything ends
And yet I wish you could delay
