All alone, I feel cold inside
Loneliness, I'm the only one to know
I am one with my armchair

All night I'm playing for you
Though I know you won't thank me
What else is left now to do?

It is here (I will defend you)
Near and nearer (fight it back)
One foot in the grave, I've seen this all before

Memories, memories of tomorrow
One foot in the grave, I've seen this all before
Dear me, memories of tomorrow

Once I was dead, I know I'll be
I've diffracted it all on myself
Oh, can't this chalice pass by me

Why can't it be someone else
I've got to pay for the world now
If not, there's no one to do

It is here (I will defend you)
Near and nearer (fight it back)
One foot in the grave, I've seen this all before

Memories, memories of tomorrow
One foot in the grave, I've seen this all before
Dear me, memories of tomorrow
