	A drunkard gives as his excuse						A drunkard gives as his excuse

	You were sharp and ideal as a bobby pin						You were sharp and ideal as a bobby pin
	Now your eyes are deserted and quiet						Now your eyes are deserted and quiet
	We both look like those poor shattered mannequins						We both look like those poor shattered mannequins
	Thrown through the window in the riot						Thrown through the window in the riot
	She lies in his arms and without any qualms						She lies in his arms and without any qualms
	Revels in shallow delights						Revels in shallow delights

	Since she came back to him after the fall						Since she came back to him after the fall
