Gone, Gone, Gone Lyrics

My head is like an unblocked drain
My head is full of brains
My instincts are to kiss this train
I hear it comingYour conscious says mind how you go
Your alter still says no
Your morals ebb, your morals flow
Your bath is runningThe normal rules do not apply
And mine is not to reason why
Gone, gone, goneMy arms are like two shipyard cranes
That may not work again
My fortunes wax, my fortunes wane
My sense is sunderedA cup that cheers a cheerless heart
The path I dare not chart
I look askance, not quite the part
Someone has blunderedThe normal rules do not apply
And mine is not to reason why
Gone, gone, goneTo all this grand old scheme of things
To all the pain it brings

To all those who pull the strings
I bid good riddanceTo pass the time, to coin a phrase
I mint a million ways
To counterfeit my salad days
And split the differenceThe normal rules do not apply
And mine is not to reason why
The normal rules do not apply
And mine is not to reason why
Gone, gone, gone
