As I stepped out upon the land and my heart was already down the stairs
She's an adventure with that boy of hers
Though her face is greased and her eyes seem strange
There's a second-hand emotion on her that had fought it fine
My tears were never enough to keep that girl alive
And as she seems contrived, she'll make the change
The next time round
The next time round
You'll be someone else's baby
But I'll be underground
Next time round
Then you took two steps forward and then one step on your back
Now it's your future for me and you that I lack
You'll be the one who stands out in the dark
Even when you're all dressed in black
Next time round
The next time round
You'll be someone else's baby
But I'll be underground
Next time round
You've got something that I want now
And I've got something I can't hide
I've got too much love for you now
You've got too much pride
Sometimes I name and number all the things you gave to me
Your elastic love is velvet like a good shoe
You used to take the breath out of me
Now I think you'll be the death of me
Next time round
The next time round
You'll be someone else's baby
But I'll be underground
Next time round
Next time round
The next time round
The next time round
You'll be someone else's baby
But I'll be underground
Next time round
The next time round
The next time round
The next time round
The next time round
You'll be someone else's baby
But I'll be underground
Next time round
The next time round
