Tench
Life is rich but it's way too short
You make a lot of money but you just want
more
I don't need the pain right here in my heart
But I hate every minute when we're so far
apart - yes
It was love in a minute, it was love in a
flash
It brings me no pleasure, just a stab in the
back
It bring me no comfort, it bring me no peace
It's a weight on my shoulder, it's a fatal
disease
So don't tear me up
I don't ever want to see your picture again
And don't poison my blood
I don't ever want to see your face here no
more
Want to finish it quick, want to finish it
clean
Don't want to be bitter, I don't want to be
mean
I feel like we're driving down a dead-end
street
Yeah, come so far, I want to crash the car,
I want to land right on my feet
I said don't tear me up
I don't ever want to see your picture again
I said don't tear
me up
I don't ever want to see your face here no
more
But I dream of you constantly
You'll be my angel of light
And in the dark rooms of sleeplessness
You'll be my lover each night
Life is a bitch but it's way too short
Unlike a politician, it just can't be bought
You think about the tenderness, you think about
the craziness
And if you ever want to hate me come and stick
a knife right in my chest
I said don't tear me up
I don't ever want to see your picture again
I said don't tear
me up
I don't ever want to see your face here no
more
I said don't tear me up
I said don't tear me up
I said don't poison my blood
I don't ever want to see your picture again
TrackTalk
All the instruments and the vocals sound quite
close to you, there's very little reverb. It's the antithesis of theJust Another Night sound. The
fashion swung in the complete opposite
direction.
