Naked and retched and retching on a hotel bathroom floor, somewhere in the City   Three days no sleeping, not eating, not feeling good anymore   Drenched in sweat and self-pity now, it's not a pretty sight      What to say in my defence, I was imperfect tense   Used to have such balance, but I don't know where it went   So won't you be my present sense      Breaking, I'm shaking, it's taking a long long time   To come down off this murderous medication   Trying to remember, my reasons for running myself into the ground with such dedication      What to say in my defence, I was imperfect tense   Used to have such balance, but I don't know where it went   So won't you be my present sense, sense      Cos it's not meant to be   I am lost at sea   So mermaids sing to me   Of the better times and the things that can be   Like the diamonds in the Mediterranean sea   Or the beatings and sleeping and times that I took   And of washing the drink and the drugs from my blood   And I've nothing to say in my defence   I'm far from perfect I'm still tense   They say that love can change you once   Please say that love can change me once   Come on change me
