Verse 1 Get out of my parlour, won’t you
Get out of my life
Put on that crazy raincoat
You’re gonna need it tonight
Get out of my parlour
For I cut you with a knife
Don’t want your disease
Don’t need you’re silly jive

Chorus 1 I was an innocent bystander
I was a middle-of-the-roadman for you
Then you took me for a ride, now baby
Showed me all the things you could do
I always listen to the good-looking lady
A mistake I won’t make no more
‘Cause you might be a good-looking lady
You’re rotten to the core
You’re all fucked up

Verse 2 I’ve been under your influence
Under your spell too long
Now people keep me at a distance
Everything I do is wrong
My brain’s disintegrating
Devil’s singing my song
This cannot continue
This cannot go on
