Cynics

Well I hung my sheets and stomped the streets
In a Richmond summer rain
And I saw this girl who smiled just like you

Well I burned with regret, like my first cigarette
As you crossed my mind again
And I watched her pass in the polish on my shoe

See, there was a time when you were mine
And the world was mine as well
But I've a mind as stubborn as a mule

And love, it waits at no man's gate
It rings at no man's bell
And I boarded all my doors up like a fool

Well I guess this city turned us both to cynics
I guess it got the best of us somehow
If I could turn this wishing into whiskey
Darling, I'd be drunk by now

There's someone new, he's not like you
He keeps it all inside
I'd sooner summon blood out of a stone

Ain't it strange how some things change
But others don't subside
I'm just terrified we'll both end up alone

Well I guess this city turned us both to cynics
I guess it got the best of us somehow
If I could turn this wishing into whiskey
Darling, I'd be drunk by now
Oh darling, I'd be drunk by now

Well I guess this city turned us both to cynics
Well I guess it got the best of us somehow
If I could turn this wishing into whiskey
Darling, I'd be drunk by now
Oh darling, I'd be drunk by now
Oh darling, I'd be drunk by now
