I saw you at the police station and it breaks my heart to say.
|
Your eyes had wandered off to something distant, cold and grey.
|
I guess you didn't see it coming,
|
Someone's gotten used to slumming.
|
Dreaming of the golden years,
|
I see you had to change careers.
|
Far away, but we both know it's somewhere.
|
|
I saw you on the back page of some pre press yesterday.
|
The drip wood in your eyes had nothing short of love for pain.
|
I know you from another picture,
|
Of someone with the most convictions.
|
We used to read the funny papers,
|
Fooled around and pulled some capers.
|
Not today, send a message to her.
|
A message that I'm coming, coming to pursue her.
|
|
Tell your country I, rest my face on your bed.
|
I've got you ten times over, I'll chase you down 'til you're dead.
|
I saw you on a TV station and it made me wanna pray.
|
An empty shell of loveliness is now dusted with decay.
|
What happened to the funny paper?
|
Smiling was your money maker.
|
Someone oughta situate her,
|
Find a way to educate her.
|
All the way, time to come and find you.
|
You can't hide from me girl, so never mind what I do.
|
|
Tell your country I, rest my face on your bed.
|
I bet my sovereign country and I, left it all for your head.
|
|
I saw you in the church and there was no time to exchange.
|
You were getting married and it felt so very strange.
|
I guess I didn't see it coming,
|
Now I guess it's me who's bumming.
|
Dreaming of the golden years,
|
You and I were mixing tears.
|
Not today, not for me but someone.
|
I never could get used to, so now I will refuse to.
|
|
Tell your country I, rest my face on your bed.
|
I bet my sovereign country and I, left it all for your head
|
|
I got my best foot forward and I'll chase you down 'til you're dead
