Why'd you make a habit of getting up and stealing away?
People are the place, so you've got to change names
I read a quiver on your lips when you told me you would always stay
Life is a gambler, gonna teach you how to play games

How am I gonna know how it's treating you?
Well how am I gonna know how it's treating you?
And how's the world gonna go on treating you?
I was never anything but good to you
You could come back now, you'd be cleaner than a clergy gown

I am not a part of you anymore, no I am not a part of you anymore
If bottomless coffee's gonna keep you keen, hotel everything
Take me to the Rhine and wash me off
If I was some lead-rimmed killing cup
Fool's gold, heavy as a pyrite scheme
But I wasn't planning anything to be your only one

Finite as a summit in your billowfold blues
Tar-heeled terror, why'd you break your own rules?
And if your justice comes in Heaven, why'd you justify dues?
Take it from your breakers and appreciate low tide too

How am I gonna know how it's treating you?
Well how am I gonna know how it's treating you?
And how's the world gonna go on treating you?
I was never anything but good to you
You could come back, babe, in your Ides of March way

I am not a part of you anymore, no I am not a part of you anymore
If daytime TV cameos your dreams, rerun everything
Take me to the Nile and wash me off if I was some swine in your feeding trough
Mud-mad, squealing in the name of love
Honey, but I never really cared enough to be your only one

I am not a part of you anymore, no I am not a part of you anymore
If everyone's key is gonna set you free
I am not a part of you
