Like silent she stands[00:00:12]
Like laughter she falls[00:00:18]
From a castle of sand[00:00:24]
Like a memory she calls[00:00:30]
And the mockingbirds grieve[00:00:36]
'Cause they can't make her cry[00:00:41]
And they'll soon start to believe[00:00:47]
That the lady has died[00:00:53]
Oh what it all goes to show[00:00:58]
It ain't my job to say[00:01:04]
For who am I to know[00:01:10]
Why she's actin' this way[00:01:15]
Oh once again turn away[00:01:32]
If you're sure that it's done[00:01:39]
Tell your prophets to pray[00:01:44]
Tell your bandits to run[00:01:50]
Take your eyelids of stone[00:01:56]
They won't do you no harm[00:02:01]
And take your cross made of bones[00:02:07]
Take your your fly paper arms[00:02:13]
And when everything's placed[00:02:18]
In your coffin of gold[00:02:24]
Throw a scarf 'round your face[00:02:30]
'Cause the subway gets cold[00:02:35]
Pack up your sunflower smile[00:02:41]
And your bandana blues[00:02:47]
Take your worthless denials[00:02:53]
They're all you've got left to lose[00:02:58]
Take your tinkerbell lies[00:03:04]
And your weary desires[00:03:10]
Take the tears in your eyes[00:03:15]
Take your cup full of fire[00:03:21]
Ah give your lover a call[00:03:26]
If your legs start to fail[00:03:32]
And he'll come break your fall[00:03:38]
With a bed full of nails[00:03:44]
No need to glance back again[00:04:00]
There ain't nothin' to see[00:04:07]
Just this drunken old man[00:04:12]
And this woman and me[00:04:18]
And you've made it quite plain[00:04:24]
That we're just wastin' time[00:04:29]
And you say it seems strange[00:04:35]
That I'm staying behind[00:04:41]
But don't you worry 'bout me[00:04:46]
I can make it alone[00:04:52]
'Cause I got no place to be[00:04:58]
And I ain't far from home[00:05:04]
