The cat's away, the mice will play
You'd be disappointed if you saw me now
The strength you thought you saw in my eyes
Was just a Halloween disguise
Since you've been gone, oh, life is shallow
Did you know that you keep me on the straight and narrow?
And now that you've gone, oh, I'll be found
About a million miles away from solid ground
Solid ground
And if you think I'm doing alright
Be a fly on the wall as I shake through the night
But I wear my costume, they'll never guess
I'll be Pinocchio in fancy dress
Since you've been gone, oh, life is shallow
Did you know that you keep me on the straight and narrow?
And now that you've gone, oh, I'll be found
About a million miles away from solid ground
Solid ground
Ain't liking life without you, baby
Ain't liking life without you, baby
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Since you've been gone, oh, life is shallow
Did you know that you keep me on the straight and narrow?
And now that you've gone, oh, I'll be found
About a million miles away
Million miles away
Million miles away from solid ground
Solid ground
Since you've been gone, ooh
