[Lyric] Captain Scarlet (The Adventure Babies)

[Verse 1]
I sit alone
All by myself
Someone's left their toys out
And left me on the shelf
And the clock goes one, two, three
And I sit
And I drink until I'm sick
The birds sing
But the dawn doesn't bring good news

[Chorus 1]
And in the morning it is headaches, not heartaches
And in the morning all my puppet strings are cut
I'm invicible and no-one can hurt me
Try and hurt me, I am Captain Scarlet

[Verse 2]
Sometime later on my puppeteer appears and
With a smile she returns all my fears
My invincibility
Has turned to invisibility
And my stiff upper lip has lost its starch
And she says:
[Chorus 2]
"I can hurt you but you'll nеver ever hurt mе"
(Never hurt me!)
"I've got freedom and you're the one who's stuck"
(The one who's stuck)
"So don't talk to me about invincibility"
"You're a woodentop, not Captain Scarlet"

[Verse 3]
Time goes past
And feelings run high and fast
And you'll be glad to find
That she's no longer on my mind
It's good how one way love doesn't last
I am Captain Scarlet now
And I miss
Feelings that I wish
I had not at the time

[Chorus 3]
My emotions have suffered some erosions
And I lived the life of a callous hollow man
Still I'm invincible and no-one can hurt me
And I can do whatever Captain Scarlet can
