[Verse 1]
Last night you were a real mood killer
The red wine on my carpet spiller
I made some tea, I put on the kettle
I told you jokes, made you laugh a little
But when you let your mind off the leash
It always comes back with somethin' dead in its teeth
Is it better today? I needn't have asked you
Another day, another disaster

[Chorus]
When you feel drawn to the abyss
Don't kid yourself
There are so many good things that you'd miss
Don't kid yourself

[Verse 2]
You quit your job, you quit the band
You quit all the things you understand
I called you up but you'd stay at home
Writing songs that rhymed phone with alone
I must admit, it was fairly concerning
When I saw on the TV that your house was burning
And all you said in the interview after
Was "another day, another disaster"
[Chorus]
But when you're drawn to the abyss
Don't kid yourself
There are so many good things that you'd miss
Don't kid yourself

[Post-Chorus]
You see moats but there's a bridge
Your beer is warm but there's a fridge
Put down the match and gasoline
It's not as bad as it might seem

[Verse 5]
The doctor gave you an exercise
Write down your thoughts so he can analyze
If you had bad luck or just bad health
And on the paper you compared yourself
To the cars that Tom Cruise runs from in the movies
Doomed to explode
A broken heart that's palpitating
S.O.S code
