"Oh hello there" you coughed and smiled
Your hair messed up enough, a little wild
You said, "I'm sorry but it's all a waste
Not a whole meal just a little taste"
Now you've nothing left to fight and gain
Another line another carved link of your name
On the golden ball and chain
L.A. it calls and London grooms the star
Get on the phone to find out who you are
But happiness was a dying trend
You say you saw that train around the bend
That was carrying its weight in pain
The engine straining on the full weight of your name
And the golden ball and chain
You saw it then, you saw the sign
A drowning sailor in a jug of wine
First it was her, but now it's you
No psychoanalyst is there to tell you what to do
So now you whimper like a helpless child
You broke when they quit saying you were wild
But your tears they are like grass in sand
They speak to no one, they give no command
No there's nothing left to cleanse the stain
Another line another carved link of your name
On the golden ball and chain
Your hair messed up enough, a little wild
You said, "I'm sorry but it's all a waste
Not a whole meal just a little taste"
Now you've nothing left to fight and gain
Another line another carved link of your name
On the golden ball and chain
L.A. it calls and London grooms the star
Get on the phone to find out who you are
But happiness was a dying trend
You say you saw that train around the bend
That was carrying its weight in pain
The engine straining on the full weight of your name
And the golden ball and chain
You saw it then, you saw the sign
A drowning sailor in a jug of wine
First it was her, but now it's you
No psychoanalyst is there to tell you what to do
So now you whimper like a helpless child
You broke when they quit saying you were wild
But your tears they are like grass in sand
They speak to no one, they give no command
No there's nothing left to cleanse the stain
Another line another carved link of your name
On the golden ball and chain
