I knew him as a gentle young man I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline We watched him fade before our very eyes And years before his time Surrounded himsef with shiny things First night tickets, ermine, pearls upon a string And disappeared in all the pestilence That sudden pleasure brings He never asks after her anymore He made a point of losing her address And every trinket that she ever touched He keeps locked away And just burns up in the furnace of his chest Well I spoke to a man who says he's done it all And the only thing that pleases or excites him now Is hurting, hurting then hurting some more There's someone I want to forget tonight Don't you want to forget someone too?
