The party is over 
But I can't get sober 
Obsession is towing me 
Deep down down 

Love has left the room 
It fled out the back door 
When all that I asked for 
Was forever more 
Or a real bye bye 
It didn't say bye bye 

And I'll let go if you just tell me 
Give back the pieces of dreams 
That you sell me 
They trick my mind 

I'll let go if you just let me 
I will forget you 
If you will forget me 
I'll slip your mind 
I will slip your mind 

Tie me to the mast 
Cast me in irons 
I hear the sirens 
They sing of desire 
The fatal kind 

This love is my last 
My final possession 
Most violent caress 
It's a beautiful mess 
And it's deep down down 
It's really deep down down 

And I'll let go if you just tell me 
Give back the pieces of dreams 
That you sell me 
They trick my mind 

I'll let go if you just let me 
I will forget you 
If you will forget me 
I'll slip your mind 
I will slip your mind 

Once it settles down 
And the fire has burned out 
What d'you think you'll find 
Poking through the embers 
Memories that sting, 
Little splinters of your doubt 
Things that you can live without 

So why die? 
Give back the pieces of dreams 
That you sell me 
And trick my mind 

I'll let go if you just let me 
I will forget you 
If you will forget me 
I'll slip your mind 
I will slip your mind
