Gone, Gone, Gone Lyrics - Echo & The Bunnymen

My head is like an unblocked drain 

My head is full of brains 

My instincts are to kiss this train 

I hear it coming 

You're conscience says "mind how you go" 

Your ulcer still says no 

Your morals ebb 

Your morals flow 

Your mouth is running 

The normal rules do not apply 

And mine is not to reason why 

Gone, gone, gone 

My arms are like two shipyard cranes 

That may not work again 

My fortunes wax 

My fortunes wane 

My senses sunder 

A cup would cheer 

The cheerless heart 

The path I dare not chart 

I look askance, not quite the part 

Someone has blundered 

The normal rules do not apply 

And mine is not to reason why 

Gone, gone, gone 

To all this scoundrel scheme of things 

To all the pain it brings 

To all those who pull the strings 

I said good riddance 

So pass the time to coin a phrase 

I'll mint a million ways 

To counterfeit my salad days 

And split the difference 

The normal rules do not apply 

And mine is not to reason why 

The normal rules do not apply 

And mine is not to reason why 

Gone, gone, gone
