***NOTE:  For the "slide part" during the verse, you could also to this:
          (It sounds better, but it's harder to do, though both ways
           sound good.)

LYRICS:

(verse)
I can't feel this way much longer 
Expecting to survive 
With all these hidden innuendoes 
Just waiting to arrive 
It's such a wavy midnight 
And you slip into insane 
Electric angel rock and roller 
I hear what you're playin' 

(pre-chorus)
It's an orangy sky 
Always it's some other guy 
It's just a broken lullaby 

(chorus)
Bye bye love 
Bye bye love 
Bye bye love 
Bye bye love 

(verse)
Substitution mass confusion 
Clouds inside your head 
Involving all my energies 
Until you visited 
With your eyes of porcelain and of blue 
They shock me into sense 
You think you're so illustrious 
You call yourself intense 

(pre-chorus)
It's an orangy sky 
Always it's some other guy 
It's just a broken lullaby 

(chorus)
Bye bye love 
Bye g-bye love 
Bye bye love 
Bye bye love-ov-ov-ove 

(verse)
Substitution mass confusion 
Clouds inside your head 
Were foggin' all my energies 
Until you visited 
With your eyes of porcelain and of blue 
They shock me into sense 
You think you're so illustrious 
You call yourself intense 

(pre-chorus)
It's an orangy sky 
Always it's some other guy 
It's just a stupid, fuckin' lullaby 

(chorus)
Bye bye love 
Bye bye love 
Bye bye love 
Bye bye love
