[Verse 1] Burn the midnight lamp Down until the dawn Ill keep watch Until Im sure youre coming home Shadows play And flicker on the bedroom wall They turn into a bad dream overnight Something could be terribly wrong [Chorus] Dont be careless love[x2] Dont be, dont be careless [Verse 2] In my dream youre running nowhere Every step youve taken turns to glue Walking down a spiral staircase Failing through, failing through Dont be careless love Be careless love The lamp burns down and out Im getting pretty tired of this I feel so bad Something might be going amiss I wont be there So look out for yourself Youre getting in deep whatever you do Dont let me go back to sleep [Chorus] [Verse 3] Saw your face in the morning paper Saw your body rolled up in a rug Chopped up into two little pieces By some thug [Chorus] Dont be careless love Be careless love [Verse 4] But in the morning light When I wake up again Youre by my side And thats the way its always been But in the dark Your mind plays funny tricks on you[x3] [Outro] Dont be careless love
