Diddle De Dum Diddle Di Dum Diddle Dear Lyrics

Well I remember all the old times like a cellar full of red wines

Like a closet full of things that bring you cheer

And the animal inside me doesn't heal me doesn't hide me

From the person that I keep seeing in my mirror

When the endless ever after starts to roll to drunken laughter

And you're stranded on the rafters pouring beer

Diddle de dum diddle di dum diddle dear

In the shadow of indifference should I shed this coat of incense?

Should I come to you just smelling like a dog?

While the lazy twilight gambler seems to have me in his camera

You're a toothless wheel and I'm a homeless cog

In the silence of the loony battered smiles of the gloomy

Young waitresses are grinning ear to ear

Diddle de dum diddle di dum diddle dear

Where's it ending?

Where's it starting?

Are there patterns here worth charting?

Is this broken heart still smarting from her touch?

So what's the point in all this gaming?

Is there anything worth naming?

Instead of planning for disappointment why don't we touch?

Instead of looking for excuses and wondering what the use is

Why don't you sooth this aching treasure chest of fear

Diddle de dum diddle di dum diddle dear

Diddle do she kept me chasing

Diddle dex you kept erasing

Diddle dee dum diddle di dum diddle dirt

As I stood there by the waiter swearing to God that I'd tip him later

You were stuffing dollar bills inside your shirt

Diddle diddle diddle daddle and then something starts to rattle

Like the footsteps of the cattle sounding near

Diddle de dum diddle di dum diddle dear

Diddle de dum diddle di dum diddle dear

Diddle de dum diddle di dum diddle dear
