This town belongs to you and your tricks of confidence
All the pavements for miles around are littered with your
footprints

Now every girl I get close to seems to be wearing your
perfume
And the clock strikes the letters of your name

Both midnight and noon
But I used to shoot my mouth off
Till you'd had enough of me

Once or twice nightly
I know I've got my faults
And among them I CAN'T CONTROL MY TONGUE

But if you didn't believe me
Why did you have to leave me
With my mouth almighty


Mouth almighty that's what I've got
Mouth almighty telling you what's what

Mouth almighty
I wish I'd never opened my mouth almighty


SO I THREW AWAY THE ROSE AND HELD ONTO THE THORN
Crawling round with my crooner cufflinks and my calling card
cologne

But the realization of being replaced starts to tell tales
across my face
Without a soul to talk to or a hair out of place
