The cat's away, the mice will play

You'd be disappointed if you saw me now

The strength you thought you saw in my eyes

Was just a Halloween disguise

Since you've been gone, oh, life is shallow

Did you know that you keep me on the straight and narrow?

And now that you've gone, oh, I'll be found

About a million miles away from solid ground

Solid ground

And if you think I'm doing alright

Be a fly on the wall as I shake through the night

But I wear my costume, they'll never guess

I'll be Pinocchio in fancy dress

Since you've been gone, oh, life is shallow

Did you know that you keep me on the straight and narrow?

And now that you've gone, oh, I'll be found

About a million miles away from solid ground

Solid ground

Ain't liking life without you, baby

Ain't liking life without you, baby

No, no, no, no, no

No, no, no, no, no

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Since you've been gone, oh, life is shallow

Did you know that you keep me on the straight and narrow?

And now that you've gone, oh, I'll be found

About a million miles away

Million miles away

Million miles away from solid ground

Solid ground

Since you've been gone, ooh
