Bewildered and amazed he staggers around The empty streets day and night He hides away so he won't be found In a doorway out of sight He's a dying man, but he doesn't realise He thinks what they say is just a pack of lies He blames no one but himself For the terrible state that he became Alot of damage was done to his health But he thought that he remained the same He's a dying man, but he doesn't realise He thinks what they say is just a pack of lies He promises and promises he'll pack it in It might last for a day or two He trys the beer and then the gin But he's soon back on his glue He's a dying man, but he doesn't realise He thinks what they say is just a pack of lies They could have helped but it's too late They loved him too much to try His life now is up to fate But they all think he will die
