Bury it in the garden At midnight by the moon Cover up the traces Lick and dress your wounds Burn it up or drown it, you can try What has never lived, can never die And it doesn't go away It stays, it stays, it stays, it stays I saw you standing in the kitchen Drinking champagne from a mug Should I have waited 'til you noticed me? Was I ash upon the rug? Sometimes you can not remove a stain And if you do, its absence still remains And it doesn't go away It stays, it stays, it stays, it stays It fights another day It doesn't go away It stays, it stays, it stays, it stays It's as simple as that I can't add to it We had our chance And we blew it Worse than that Well, we knew it, we knew it Every day's the morning after - Maybe last night broke the curse But it was only in remission It'll come back even worse In your dreams, it's falling far behind But just like daylight coming through the blinds It doesn't go away It stays, it stays, it stays, it stays It fights another day It doesn't go away It stays, it stays, it stays, it stays It fights another day Do not go away Stay, stay, stay, stay Do not go away Stay
