[Verse 1]
Over Elgin avenue
A helium balloon
Disappears into the sky
You give some money
To a junkie
Watch as the sunny day drifts by
Can't tell you why

[Verse 2]
You said you loved me
And I kind of believe that
But these days, who knows what it means
So we sat by the laundrette
With magazines and cigarettes
Talked about a million other things

[Chorus]
These are the last words
I'll say to you
These are the last words
I'll say to you

[Verse 3]
I never saw the world look the way
The city looked to me today
I never thought the end would come this way
[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Last night I dreamt that somebody had died
And it was one of us
I did the biggest thing that I could
But it was not enough

[Chorus]
These are the last words
I will say to you
