What's been going on, now that you have gone

*5x5500 can be substituted with x02200 if so desired



I bought a toothbrush, some tooth paste,
A flannel for my face,
Pajamas, a hairbrush, new shoes and a case
And I said to my reflection, "Let's get out of this place"
Past the church and the steeple; the laundry on the hill
The billboards and the buildings, the mem'ries of it still
Keeps calling and calling, but forget it all
I know that I will

Chorus:
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other

I'm at the car park, the airport, the baggage carousel
The people keep on flying, I'm wishing I was well
I said, "It's no occassion, It's no story I can tell"
At my bedside empty pocket
A foot without a sock
Your body gets much closer 
I fumble for the clock.
Alarmed by the seduction
I wish that it would stop

Chorus

I bought a novel, some perfume, a fortune over you.
But it's not my conscience
That hates to be untrue.
I said to my reflection, "Tell me what am I to do?"

Chorus
