These words are transcribed without permission the way they appear in the Deluxe Edition of Morrissey's "You Are The Quarry" album (lyrics found in the "Swords" album are slightly incomplete). There are no variations between the printed lyrics and what Morrissey actually sings in the studio version.

My life is an endless succession
Of people saying goodbye
My life is an endless succession
Of people saying goodbye
And what's left for me?
What's left for me?

At one time the future
Did stretch out before me
But now
It stretches
Behind
And all of the best things in life are behind glass
Money
Jewelry
And flesh
And what's left for me?
What's left for me?
