Orpheus

He sits at the piano and he plays a mournful tune
There’s a melody you almost recognise but it disappears too soon
You’d love to ask how he got here, why he’s chosen to stay
But you know he’s only shake his head and say

Be careful of people, they’ll cheat and they’ll lie
Be careful of yourself or you’ll do the same
And if you find someone good don’t you ever look back
Follow them, follow them to the grave

His smile never quite reaches all the way up to his eyes
He says nothing’s wrong, he’s doing well, but his songs suggest otherwise
The tunes he plays are haunting, they’ll reach down to your heart
And if you ask how he perfected his art

Be careful of people, they’ll cheat and they’ll lie
Be careful of yourself or you’ll do the same
And if you find someone good don’t you ever look back
Follow them, follow them to the grave

[Instrumental]

Follow them, even if it kills you
Follow them through the regret
Follow them blindly, follow them closely
And darling, this is what you get
A lonely seat in a lonely bar
Playing melancholy tunes
And if you could do it all again
The chance couldn’t come too soon

So be careful of people, they’ll cheat and they’ll lie
Be careful of yourself or you’ll do the same
And if you find someone good don’t you ever look back
Follow them, follow them to the grave

Be careful of people, they’ll cheat and they’ll lie
Be careful of yourself or you’ll do the same
And if you find someone good don’t you ever look back
Follow them, follow them to the grave
