Lyrics
Well you got your clothes there drying on the window sill
A heart that won't break and a mind set to kill
A piece of your thigh on the brink of my mind
And a conscience that wishes that true love was blind
Oh yeah that's enough of me babe
I'd rather be lonely
Well that's enough of me babe
I'd rather be gone
Well that's enough of this babe
There ain't no need to carry on
I got a prison cell and a sentence that rhymes
And a piggy bank filled up with nickels and dimes
A piece of my finger that sticks to the strings
And a ghost in the closet who moans and sings
That that's enough of me babe
I'd rather be lonely
Well that's enough of me babe
You see I'd rather be gone
Well that's enough of me babe
There ain't no need to carry on
You've got a teardrop forming on your bedroom wall
That drops to the ground whenever I forget to call
A diary filled with passion and pain
That reads just like a newspaper caught out in the rain
Oh yeah well that's enough of me babe
You see I'd rather be lonely
That's enough of me babe
You see I'd rather be gone
Well that's enough of this babe
There ain't no need to carry on
I got a Christmas tree that ain't got no lights
And a potpourri full of dangerous sights
I've done everything I ever wanted to do
Except to make sweet love to a woman like you
Well that's enough of me babe
I'd rather be lonely
Well that's enough of me babe
You know I'd rather be gone
Well that's enough of this babe
There ain't no need to carry on
Well the world gets amplified when the world gets cold
The world gets angry when the world gets old
Counting the candles on its birthday cake
And wondering why it can't sleep when it's awake
But that's enough of me babe
I'd rather be lonely
Well that's enough of me babe
I'd rather be gone
Well that's enough of this babe
There ain't no need to carry on
You got my mind strung out on a backyard fence
And I keep looking for an answer but it doesn't make any sense
I see you when I touch you and the night comes rolling in
But whenever I'm alone I start to singing this hymn
I say that's enough of me babe
You see I'd rather be lonely
Well that's enough of me babe
You know I'd rather be gone
Well that's enough of this babe
There ain't no need to carry on
I got a torn up heart with no place to go
And a worn out car that doesn't want to drive through the snow
A backward mind and an evil glance
That sends a light through the shadow of circumstance
Oh yeah well that's enough of me babe
I'd rather be lonely
Well that's enough of me babe
You know I'd rather be gone
Well that's enough of this babe
There ain't no need to carry on
You could find yourself on a one way path
Through a haunted forest or the grapes of wrath
While the emerald city and the yellow brick road
Are concentrating on all the feelings that we sold
Oh that's enough of me babe
You see I'd rather be lonely
Well that's enough of me babe
You know I'd rather be gone
Well that's enough of this babe
There ain't no need to carry on
Because I'm a wayward child in a mansion of mirrors
Whose thoughts grow cold whenever love disappears
I've got a piece of your memory taped to my wrist
In the very same place where it first was kissed
Oh well that's enough of me babe
I'd rather be lonely
Well that's enough of me babe
I'd rather be gone
Well that's enough of this babe
There ain't no need to carry on
Well you know it's a long way back to the place we've been before
With a smile at the window and a wolf at the door
With love on my lungs and fire on your breath
Halfway through life but halfway to death
Well that's enough of me babe
You know I'd rather be lonely
Well that's enough of me babe
You know I'd rather be gone
Well that's enough of this babe
There ain't no need to carry on
I can still feel the dewdrops growing on the window sill
When the day isn't born it sets out to kill
So touch me once and then you can touch me again
Because I've got a song in my head and a disease in this pen
Oh well that's enough of me babe
I'd rather be lonely
Well that's enough of me babe
I'd rather be gone
Well that's enough of this babe
There ain't no need to carry on
Yeah that's enough of this babe
There ain't no need to carry on
