"Next Time 'Round" Lyrics

As I stepped out upon the landing my heart was already down the stairs

She's in the bedroom with that boy of hers

Though her face is creased and her eyes seem strange

There's a second-hand emotion on battered forty-five

My tears were never enough to keep that girl alive

Now she seems contrite, will she make the change

 

Chorus: 

The next time 'round

The next time 'round

You'll be someone else's baby

But I'll be underground

The next time 'round

 

Then you took two steps forward and then one step on your back

Now it's a future for me and you that I lack

You'll be the one who stands out in the dark

Even when you're all dressed in black

 

(Chorus)

 

You've got something I want now

And I've got something I can't hide

I've got too much love for you now

You’ve got too much pride?

 

Sometimes I name and number all the things you gave to me

Your elastic love, this velvet-lined purgatory

You used to take the breath out of me

Now I think you'll be the death of me

 

(Chorus)

 

The next time 'round

The next time 'round

You'll be someone else's baby

But I'll be underground

The next time 'round

The next time 'round
