Life was leisure,
Learning French words
And staying in white rooms
Without any style.
Mailing letters,
And taking pictures.
Put each other's
In a drawer for a while
CHORUS
We're always drinking,
And we're always playing.
Someone's always
Trying too hard
To book the tickets,
And please her parents.
She is lovely,
And he is really smart.
CHORUS
At first you believed it,
And now you don't believe.
At first you could see it,
Why don't you see it now?
The future's going
Out of focus.
Our talk is cheap,
But the phone bill is not.
And how can one word,
Be another?
And why am I staying up
Alone in the dark?
And when will it all fall through?
And what else can I tell you?
You just can't turn me on and off.
You turn me on and off.
When will it all fall through?
'Cause I know it will.
And what else can I tell you?
You just can't turn me on and off.
On and off. Turn me on and off.
CHORUS:
And when will it all fall through?
And what else can I tell you?
You just can't turn me on and off.
You just can't turn me on and off.
