I've been contemplating suicide
But it really doesn't suit my style
So I think I'll just act bored instead
Who can tame the blood I would've she'd

She makes me feel so at ease
My heart is really on it's knees
But I keep a poker face so well
That even mother couldn't tell

But my baby's so vain
She is almost a mirror
And the sound of her name
Sends a permanent shiver down my spine

I keep her photograph against my heart
For in my life she plays a starring part
All alcohol and cigarettes
There is no room for cheap regret

She makes me feel so at ease
My heart is really on it's knees
But I keep a poker face so well
That even mother couldn't tell

But my baby's so vain
She is almost a mirror
And the sound of her name
Sends a permanent shiver
Down my spine
Down my spine
Spine
Spine
