When you're alone do you worry about me When I'm alone all I do is worry, worry worry worry Worry 'bout a heart attack, wonderin' who's got your back If you had a healthy lunch, if somebody spiked your punch Do the boys take care of you, or do they leave you home to brew Yeah Doin' fine without you When you're alone do you sit and weep Or do you keep the fire lit with photographs of you and me Is the heaviness letting up, or do you feel like giving up And if you gave up what exactly, what exactly would it mean Overflowing septic tanks and avoiding all the bins 'Till somebody says "I knew the girl, she kept a tidy flat But now the garden's full of rats, I know she used to sing But now she talks to buildings She's doin' swell without you" When you go out, do you dread coming home To an empty house and stale bread and nobody to warm your bed Does it make you scared to die, 'cause that's what keeps me up at night Lying stiff for several days with nobody there to say "wake up honey or are you dead" And that keeps running through my head Doin' sweet without you When you wake up do you get a fright, When suddenly you remember you no longer have a life 'Cause it scares the shit right out of me An avalanche of memories come raging like a bitch on heat So I don't stay in bed soon as I wake I flee the room say "life is great" Stick on the radio and laugh and when the prime time jokes pretend that they relate to me As if I'm not detached or lonely or is that how we all feel and eating crap is how we deal with life and all it's splendid trappings Robbery and happy slapping Yeah Doin' sweet without you Doin' swell without you
