If every kiss takes a minute off your life, Why do I feel so old? Why do I feel so old? And the air is filth and the water's spiked with sin And with every single breath, I soak the corruption in I feel my bloodstream thicken up As if I wasn't sick enough And all the same, it's all a game When you and I are history Is it worth the risk for the meaning these things give? Without my poisoned sweets, how am I going to live? And if every day takes another day off your life Is that why I feel so young? Is that why I feel so young? You won't defame my fun and games With spurious lies and specious claims No pain, no gain, it's such a shame But self-control will save me You'll never slake my hungering With jealous glib scaremongering 'Cause I can wait and moderate And have my cake and eat it

There's a box in the attic of his mind It is laden with locks and the key's in the box There's a mind in the cupboard of his soul In the mind there's a doubt that will never get out He'll forgive and not believe that he had anything to forgive you for He'll forget and not allow that he had anyone to forget about There's a heart in the sewer of his soul But he's frightened he might drown if he follows it down There's a person who is lost in his own house He can hear stifled cries but he just shuts his eyes He will sigh and not know why, it's all behind closed doors, walking different floors With a kiss you'd have the key, just like Houdini's wife used to do for him
