Ah wanna tell ya 'bout a girl
|
You know, she lives in room 29
|
Why... Why... that's the one right up top a mine
|
Ah start to cry, Ah start to cry
|
|
O Ah hear her walkin'
|
Walkin' barefoot cross the floor-boards
|
All thru this lonesome night
|
Ah hear her crying too.
|
Hot-tears come splashin on down
|
Leaking thru the cracks,
|
Down upon my face, Ah catch'em in my mouth!
|
Ah catch'em in my mouth!
|
Ah catch'em in my mouth!
|
Walk'n'cry Walk'n'cry-y!!!
|
|
From her to eternity!
|
From her to eternity!
|
From her to eternity!
|
|
Ah read her diary on her sheets
|
Scrutinizin' every lil bit of dirt
|
Tore out a page'n'stufft it inside my shirt
|
Fled outa the window,
|
And shinning it down the vine
|
Outa her night-mare, and back into mine
|
Mine! O Mine!
|
|
From her to eternity!
|
From her to eternity!
|
From her to eternity!
|
Cry! Cry! CRY!
|
|
She's wearing them bloo-stockens, ah bet!
|
and standin' like this with my ear to the ceiling
|
Listen, Ah know it must sound absurd
|
but Ah can hear the most melancholy sound
|
Ah ever heard!
|
Walk'n'cry! Kneel'n'cry-y!
|
|
From her to eternity!
|
From her to eternity!
|
|
O tell me why? O tell me why?
|
Oh Why? Why? Why?
|
O tell me why and don't tell me a lie!
|
Why the ceiling still shakes? Shakes! Shakes! Shakes!
|
Why the fixtures turn to serpents and snakes?
|
|
This desire to possess her is a wound
|
and its naggin at me like a shrew
|
but, Ah know, that to possess her
|
Is, therefore, not to desire her.
|
|
O o o then ya know, that lil girl would just have to go!
|
Go! Go-o-o! From her to eternity!
|
|
From her to eternity
|
