Bum, bum, bum, bum
Down, down, down, down
Bum, bum, bum, bum
Down, down, down, down

You've gotta leave when the other wants more
Pure ego or just self-preservation
Please, please take good care
Knowing that we'll never be quite as close as we were before, before

With no conviction
Everything will ultimately
Roll back on itself

Bum, bum, bum, bum
Down, down, down, down
Bum, bum, bum, bum
Down, down, down, down

You've gotta leave when the audience wants more
Healthy appetite when they turn on the lights
Reprise, reprise, they're begging you for more
But you know can't give them quite as much as you did before, before

With no conviction
Everything will ultimately
Roll back on itself

Down, bum, bum, bum
Down, down, down, down, down
