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, uh
(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)
'Cause I know it so, 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

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
'Cause I know it so, I'm more alone when I'm on his shoulder, yes
Ladies and gentlemen, can I invite you to put your hands together?

Hey, gotta get on the road now (hey)
Hey, gotta shake a little dust off (hey)
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
'Cause I know it so, I'm more alone when I'm on his shoulder, yes
Alright, we've got a little breakdown!
Hey, hey!
Hey, hey!

Ladies and gentlemen, the brass section!
Du-du-du-du-du-du-dun
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
