Burn the midnight lamp
Down until the dawn
I'll keep watch until I'm sure your coming home.Shadows play and flicker on the bedroom wall
They turn into a bad dream overnight
Something could be terribly wrong.Don't be careless love
Don't be careless love
Don't be, don't be careless.In my dream you're running nowhere
Every step you've taken turns to glue
Walking down a spiral staircase
Falling through, falling through
Don't be careless love
Be careless love.The lamp burns down and out
I'm getting pretty tired of this
I feel so bad something might be going amissI won't be there so look out for yourself
You're getting in deep whatever you do
Don't let me go back to sleepDon't be careless love
Don't be careless love
Don't be, don't be careless.Saw your face in the morning paper
Saw your body rolled up in a rug
Chopped up into two little pieces
By some thug
Don't be careless love
Be careless love.
But in the morning light
When I wake up again
You're by my side and that's the way it's always been
But in the dark your mind plays funny tricks on you
Your mind plays funny tricks on you
Your mind plays funny tricks on you
Don't be careless love.
