What Are You Gonna Do?

about

The eternal question.

lyrics

She said you’re not her type
She went and left you
(You’ve found you’re all alone)
What’s it like on the outside?
Out there in the cold?
(You’ve found you’re all alone)
Out there in the cold
You’ve found you’re out on your own

Whaddya gonna do now she’s gone?
Whaddya gonna do now she’s gone?
Whaddya gonna do now she’s gone?
Slash a razor across your face?
Or jump off a building
And splatter yourself
All over the place?

And so in spite of yourself
You’re back up on the shelf
(You’ve found you’re all alone)
It’s a cold place all by yourself
Way up on the shelf
(You’ve found you’re all alone)
Out there in the cold
You’ve found you’re out on your own

Whaddya gonna do now she’s gone?
Whaddya gonna do now she’s gone?
Whaddya gonna do now she’s gone?
Get yourself pissed
And totally smashed out of your brain?
Or tie yourself down
And slash your wrists?

Look here’s another one
Go out and have some fun (You’re no longer all alone)
Cross your fingers, hope it lasts
Unlike the ones in the past (You’re no longer all alone)
Out there in the cold
You’ve found you’re out on your own

Whaddya gonna do when she’s gone?
Whaddya gonna do when she’s gone?
Whaddya gonna do when she’s gone?
Put your head in a plastic bag?
Or go out and pray like mad
That you’re not going to die all alone?

Whaddya gonna do when she’s gone?
Whaddya gonna do when she’s gone?
Whaddya gonna do when she’s gone?
Whaddya gonna do?
