One Last Au Revoir

Tapping the table fourteen times
Setting the cutlery down in line
Don't leave the house til the gas is checked
And checked and checked and checked and checked.

Keeping those curtains tightly shut or i'll be back to close them up
In the middle of the night middle of the night just to sanitise my mind
Then i stop for a moment time to question this life so
Where did i go wrong i let this cruel obsession thrive.

So here we are just one last au revoir
I counted out the goodbyes and the fare thee wells so far.

Keep the invisible rope as straight as a rope can ever be
If you walk around a lamp-post then walk back to keep it free
Don't tie it up with people; you've got to hold them to the right
And never let the rope never let the rope get too tangled or too tight.

Then I stop for a moment oh the freedom I have found
I'm back in control these prison bars are melting down.

So here we are just one last au revoir
I counted out the goodbyes and the fare thee wells so far
So here we are just one last au revoir.

So here we are just one last au revoir
I counted out the goodbyes and the fare thee wells so far
So here we are just one last au revoir
I've thrown away the numbers; we were rivals from the start.

So here we are just one last au revoir
I'm free of all those bindings i just blew them apart!
Just one last au revoir Just one last au Revoir
Just one last au revoir just one last au Revoir.
