[Verse 1]
There's no sin in this: getting dressed to kill, laughing down the sun like a jackal will
With his eyes ablaze and his lips apart he's going to fill his cup with the love in your heart and drink it up till the morning starts
Circulate the red light vistas
Get the girls and get their sisters
Pinch them up and give them blisters
Kiss them fierce with all his might, forever

[Chorus]
Bye bye to another life
Bye bye to another life
Bye bye to another life
Bye bye to another life

[Verse 2]
Standing on the verge of the edge of the ledge, waiting for me to fall, but then I got a call
It said "Wait, hold up homie!
You must be tripping!
You can't be putting that skimping and wimping up in your pipping!
You better stand tall, fool you was born to ball
Took a little fall and now you want to end it all!
You've been chasing dreams like a hound dog on the hunt
Take your place in the front
Put your hand on the pump
And it's right in your grasp, man
I know they're laughing, but you'll be laughing later because time's are going to get greater
You's a player, and when I say player I mean player because your daddy and your uncle was a player

[Chorus]
Who's going to cry for you?
Who's going to cry over you?
Who's going to cry for you?
Who's going to cry over you?

[Verse 3]
Put yourself in your position
You aren't wishing for no food and no warmth and no light, so you must be doing all right

But wait a minute!
Something's wrong
It's lunatic, it's mad, insane!
Busted like a water main
Indulgence in another vein

What they're saying round the neighborhood is what he's drinking's not aged in wood

He's filling out
He's all growed up
He's all blowed up
He's gotten fat
He's filling out
He's all growed up
He's all blowed up
He's gotten fat

[Break]
Sure enough at the midnight lounge there's a dent in the seat where the vampire sat

[Chorus]
Bye bye to another life
Bye bye to another life

[Break]
Living dead is doing time, like drowning on the circle line

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Who's going to cry over you?
Cry over you?
Tell me would they lie for you?
Die for you?
You're hoping that it's true for you do for you, fool
But who's going to cry?

Blondie is an American rock band founded by singer Deborah Harry and guitarist Chris Stein. The band was a pioneer in the early American new wave and punk scenes of the mid-1970s. Their first two albums contained strong elements of these genres, and although successful in the United Kingdom and Australia, Blondie was regarded as an underground band in the United States until the release of Parallel Lines in 1978. Over the next three years, the band achieved several hit singles including “Call Me”, “Atomic” and “Heart of Glass” and became noted for its eclectic mix of musical styles incorporating elements of disco, pop, rap, and reggae, while retaining a basic style as a new wave band.
