Gone, Gone, Gone - Echo & the Bunnymen

My head is like an unblocked drain

My head is full of brains

My instincts are to kiss this train

I hear it coming

You’re conscience says «mind how you go»

Your ulcer still says no

Your morals ebb

Your morals flow

Your mouth is running

The normal rules do not apply

And mine is not to reason why

Gone, gone, gone

My arms are like two shipyard cranes

That may not work again

My fortunes wax

My fortunes wane

My senses sunder

A cup would cheer

The cheerless heart

The path I dare not chart

I look askance, not quite the part

Someone has blundered

The normal rules do not apply

And mine is not to reason why

Gone, gone, gone

To all this scoundrel scheme of things

To all the pain it brings

To all those who pull the strings

I said good riddance

So pass the time to coin a phrase

I’ll mint a million ways

To counterfeit my salad days

And split the difference

The normal rules do not apply

And mine is not to reason why

The normal rules do not apply

And mine is not to reason why

Gone, gone, gone
