[00:17.20] Forever doesnt mean forever anymore
[00:38.84] I said forever
[00:44.93] But it doesnt look like Im gonna be around much anymore
[00:53.38] When the heat gets sub-tropical
[00:57.00] And the talk gets so topical
[01:01.18] Riot act - you can read me the riot act
[01:07.38] You can make me a matter of fact
[01:10.75] Or a villain in a million
[01:13.37] A slip of the tongue is gonna keep me civilian
[01:17.18] Why do you talk such stupid nonsense
[01:22.55] When my mind could rest much easier
[01:30.23] Instead of all this dumb dumb insolence
[01:35.41] I would be happier with amnesia
[01:49.85] They say forget her
[01:58.68] Now it looks like youre either gonna be for me or against me
[02:08.95] I got your letter
[02:12.38]
[02:16.41] Now they say I dont care for the colour that it paints me
[02:23.15] Trying to be so bad is bad enough
[02:27.11] Dont make me laugh by talking tough
[02:30.61] Dont put your heart out on your sleeve
[02:34.75] When your remarks are off the cuff
