Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde - Ezra Furman

Lyrics by：Ezra Furman

Composed by：Ezra Furman

Now my tender heart had hardened

I'm taking walks in my dead garden

I'm shooting marbles 'cross the floor

In the maintenance closet at the grocery store

In my little black apartment

I found love's secret compartment

And now I keep my things inside

That's my Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

Somewhere back there I started drifting

And I just drifted all away

Now am I still the man you paid for

Am I something completely different in the night and in the day

I was hideous and handsome

And I held myself for ransom

Yes I was honest and I lied

That's my Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

And I know that you tried

I was standing on the beautiful downtown skyscraper

I was looking down the side

But beauty's frail and beauty's passing

And she soon goes out of fashion

Then she's just running down the drain

She'll be always stuck somewhere between big joy and big pain

And although she'll always slay me

I will make her be my baby

Yes I will take her as my bride

There's a thousand ways to love her

Open heart and undercover

And I just never could decide

That's my Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
