I'm Gone

I’m beckoning, begging and I keep hanging on
And I do not pay the band
Well, I’ve come and I’ve cradled your face
Got my pride and my hat in my hand
To be ashes on the ground
But it won’t take long for what’s red hot and blonde
The Manhattan skyline, a bed and a byline

And I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
Over and over and over and over
Going once, going twice, mercy God, Jesus Christ
I’m beckoning, begging, I keep hanging on

Over and over and over and over

And I never sleep well and I still kiss and tell
Well, nothing has changed since the last time I came
With a shoot-out and a chase
Going once, going twice, mercy God, Jesus Christ
And I'm gone, and I'm gone, and I'm gone
And I won’t be the last one to commit crimes of passion
