The Thrill is Gone. (Live at the Royal Albert Hall)

Card games and heart games

I said, "Let's play," I should know better

My boy ain't my boy

But I call him that 'cause it feels better

Court case last Monday

But he buss trial, so I feel better

Painkillers and codeine

I got stomach cramps under my sweater

Dark words from his dark mind

Now there's dark stains under my eyes

I'm scared when I look at him

And I don't know why I'm surprised

Silk sheets and I'm crying in 'em

And I'm staying here when I should go

I'm scared if I leave now

I'll never come back, so I sip slow, uh

Say something nice to me

(Say something nice to me) uh

I nod, and I agree, you get so mad if I disagree

So he invited me to sit here silently, no

He can't stand the sight of me

He used to get excited, but now

Uh, the thrill is gone, thrill is gone, thrill is gone, huh

Hmm, the thrill is gone, the thrill is gone, the thrill is over

I know it so, 'cause I'm more alone when I'm on his shoulder, yes

The thrill is gone, thrill is gone, (thrill is gone)

The thrill is gone, thrill is gone, thrill is gone, huh

He's a Leo sun, a Leo moon and a Leo rising

Then something dies in his eyes, when I find them

The thrill is gone, the thrill is so gone, yes

Hmm, I can't sleep in the same bed as you, something just doesn't feel right

When you fall asleep, I leave the room as you're closing your eyes

I shut the door behind me quickly and then I, I get in my car

But then, the second I leave you, I wish I was where you are

Say, won't you say, won't you say something nice to me?

Oh, won't you say? Oh, won't you say? Oh, won't you say? No, ooh?

Uh, the thrill is gone, thrill is gone, thrill is gone, huh

The thrill is gone, go-go-go-gone, the thrill is over, yeah

And I know it so, 'cause I'm more alone when I'm on his shoulder

Ladies and gentlemen, can I invite you to put your hands together?

Gotta get on the road now (hey)

Gotta shake a little dust off (hey)

Gotta get up (walk away)

Get on the plane now, say

I'll leave him in the past, I pray

I know it's done, it's sad to say

But the thrill is gone, (it's gone away)

Uh, (the thrill is gone), the thrill is gone, (thrill is gone, huh)

(The thrill is gone) go-go-go-gone, the thrill is over, yeah

I know it so, 'cause I'm more alone when I'm on his shoulder

Alright, we've got a little breakdown

Hey, hey

Hey, hey

Ladies and gentlemen, the brass section

Du-du-du-du-du-du-du

Well, something dies when I find him

I think the thrill

The thrill is just

Oh, ain't it just?

I think it's just, yeah
