Katie

Well, the sidewalks are lonely when they're under her feet
As she's sliding away back to her living room suite, oh Katie

She's a walk in the park, a suburban threat
And every afternoon is a Sunday dress, oh Katie

She gets invited to the party, but she'll always decline
'Cause she's fine by herself with a bottle of wine, oh Katie

You never see her around, she never picks up the phone
She's the type of girl who always like being alone, oh Katie

With a switchblade grin and a throwback home
Her world is a personal variety show
Well, her mind is brittle and her soul is clean
And it breaks my heart that she'll never be with me

She's a beautiful novel, a paranoid sin
A whiskey, a water, a tonic and gin, oh Katie

She's a minor fifth on a monotone day
And if you get too close, she'd try to push you away, oh Katie

With a switchblade grin and a throwback home
Her world is a personal variety show
Well, her mind is brittle and her soul is clean
And it breaks my heart that she'll never be with me

And it breaks my heart that she'll never be with me
(Well, her mind is brittle, and her soul is clean)
And it breaks my heart that she'll never be with me

She lights up a smoke, she pulls up a chair
She's taking a drag, she's twirling her hair, oh Katie

It's the moral of the story that we just felt
She's hot as sin, but it's worth the melt, oh Katie

With a switchblade grin and a throwback home
Her world is a personal variety show
Well, her mind is brittle and her soul is clean
And it breaks my heart that she'll never be with me

(Well, her mind is brittle, and her soul is clean)
And it breaks my heart that she'll never be with me
(The sidewalks are lonely when they're under her feet)
(And she's sliding away back to her living room suite)

And it breaks my heart that she'll never be with me (she's a beautiful novel, a paranoid sin)
(A whiskey, a water, a tonic and gin)
(Well, her mind is brittle, and her soul is clean)
And it breaks my heart that she'll never be with me
