On a glass-bottomed boat You escaped to ballot your vote On a piece of home-made paper You were a yes And you were a no In wet cement You drew a line Dancing across the coals You ask me to pick a side I've gotta ruin tonight Cause there's no good way to say I'm leaving you There is no good way to say I'm leaving you You used to write You used to paint You don't say why you stopped Or if you'll start again Your evenings lack their old uniform It's not hard to think of questions When answers are all that you want I've gotta ruin tonight Cause there's no good way to say I'm leaving you There is no good way to say I'm leaving you
