out from my window the people are passing on by i hear them complain but i know that they don t even try and the lights down on main street don t shine like they used to and i m thinking of nothing but spending a lifetime with you you know that i love you you know that i wait by your door you know how i m feeling so i won t have to feel it no more but nobody could ever love you like i can honey someday you ll wake up and maybe you ll understand now i got a friend of a friend who drives a nice car and i got acquaintances down at the neighborhood bar and i got some women they stop on by my home but somehow i always wake up each morning alone and the train that i ride has nothing aside from the phantom conductor with a dog at his side and the ghost of a weeping weddingless bride who should have been married but never arrived and i see through the windows like i see through the lies like i see through every useless disguise that everyone wears but everyone swears that they dont ah but dont mind me baby im only dying slow im trying so hard just to forget about you i try not to care about anything that you do but four in the morning and i just cant sleep the pills aint workin and i cant get no relief and i feel like a hound dog moaning along with the rain any day now the jukebox could drive me insane theres an old man in the corner that nobody knows he says laugh while you can cause someday youll be wearing my clothes but i guess i cant tell you what you dont already know and i aint no prophet my landlord he told me so but my mind is a burning ring of saturn flame and i feel things inside that i just can t explain i know that you know how to fake and to take what you break what you burn what you never did learn then you turn and you say that you ve made a mistake as your head starts to spin and your heart starts to ache but all that you make will be all that you get when the curtain goes down but don t you forget that all your regret is a cheap silhouette and that s all ah but don t mind me baby i m only dying slow i met a gambler who did nothing but lose all day he had love in his hands but he let her slip away and all he ever wanted was to give her a win but all she ever really wanted was him
