Only the Very Best

No one can have more than their due

I wanted life, I wanted you

Only the very best, a reasonable request

This is too high a price to pay

Now they've taken you away, might as well take me

Down, down to hell for I don't care

They can put me anywhere, throw away the key

I always walked a definite line

Cutting a dash, cutting it fine

And once, only once did I lose control, I gave him my soul

And I gave, and I gave, and I gave him my soul

I was immortal till today

Now I feel a cold decay crawling over me, over me

No one can have more than their due

I wanted life, I wanted you

Only the very best, no other interest

This is the way you should remain

Never feeling any pain, never growing old

Sleep, sleep, my love, your night is here

Mine is growing very near, oh, it's getting cold
