So look out for yourself
Something might be going amiss
Don't be careless love
You're getting in deep whatever you do
By some thug
You're by my side
Your mind plays funny tricks on you
Don't be careless love
Saw your body rolled up in a rug
Shadows play
I'll keep watch
Be careless love
Don't be careless love
I feel so bad
Don't let me go back to sleep
And that's the way it's always been
In my dream you're running nowhere
Walking down a spiral staircase
They turn into a bad dream overnight
Failing through, failing through
Saw your face in the morning paper
Your mind plays funny tricks on you
Until I'm sure your coming home
Something could be terribly wrong
Don't be careless love
Chopped up into two little pieces
Don't be careless love
Every step you've taken turns to glue
When I wake up again
The lamp burns down and out
But in the dark
And flicker on the bedroom wall
Be careless love
Don't be careless love
Don't be, don't be careless
I'm getting pretty tired of this
Don't be, don't be careless
But in the morning light
I won't be there
