Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
See you at the funeral of our lust
We'll both be there when the hour chimes
Oh what good time
Your alibi is dead
It sails down the river
You're just blowin' smoke rings
When I remember yesterday
Our story seems far away
And I was free to roam in dreams
Before I let you close to me
Your words were sweet if ever spoke
My heart was wrong
The trust was broke
Wish I'd let it pass me by
From what I've seen and what I 've heard
I can't take you at your word
You don't deserve to hold me tight
My bloody fists are more in line
I'm moving on with my own pride
Wish I hadn't held a rusty knife
That bullshit lullaby
It's time for us to say goodnight
Here's one for memories
And one for love
Now I'm experienced
I know, I know
Goddamn it I know, goddamn it I know
I really must quit you, quit you
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
See you at the funeral of our lust
We'll both be there when the hour chimes
Oh what good time
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust See you at the funeral of our lust We'll both be there when the hour chimes Oh what good time Your alibi is dead It sails down the river You're just blowin' smoke rings When I remember yesterday Our story seems far away And I was free to roam in dreams Before I let you close to me Your words were sweet if ever spoke My heart was wrong The trust was broke Wish I'd let it pass me by From what I've seen and what I 've heard I can't take you at your word You don't deserve to hold me tight My bloody fists are more in line I'm moving on with my own pride Wish I hadn't held a rusty knife That bullshit lullaby It's time for us to say goodnight Here's one for memories And one for love Now I'm experienced I know, I know Goddamn it I know, goddamn it I know I really must quit you, quit you Ashes to ashes, dust to dust See you at the funeral of our lust We'll both be there when the hour chimes Oh what good time
