I'm at misery alone
I'm at misery patrolled
Sadomasochist
Sadomonogamist

When you were young, you were so romantic
You married quick to prove you knew what love is

Adrift

It's a shame I cannot decide
Which way to ruin my life
It's assured whichever I'd choose
I'd be doomed to despise

You became a man, you didn't stand a chance
You assumed love was just a blind man's hang-up

Without an anchor, I am free
Without an anchor, I do as I please

Your sudden drift amongst your stormy sea
Of women old and new and used and lonely

Without an anchor, I'm a wreck
Without an anchor, I regress

And all these women see your damaged good
Before they flee, who'll take you seriously

I'm a middle-aged cliché
Found out I'm satisfied
Too small to appreciate
When life is merely all right

Those women you once loved have open arms
That you abruptly shoved aside for the next one
Those women you once loved have open arms
That you abruptly shoved aside for the next one
Those women you once loved have open arms
That you abruptly shoved aside for the next one

Without an anchor, I am free
Without an anchor, I do as I please

Without an anchor, I'm a wreck
Without an anchor, I regress
