Great Expectations (Cover)
Mary, this station is playing every sad song
I remember like we were alive
And I heard it Sunday morn' from inside all these walls
And a prison cell where we spent those nights
And they burned up the diner where I always used to find her
Licking young boys' blood from her claws
And I heard about the blues from this kitten I knew
hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb.
My heart's like a wound
And I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
Why wouldn't you?
Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life
Better safe than making the party
And I never had a good time, I sat by my bedside
With papers and poetry about Estella
With great expectations
We had the greatest of expectations
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
why wouldn't you?
I can't go on
My head has grown too heavy
Need that song
Those trusty chords will pull me through
I saw the warning signs, and symptoms of the wrong
Wonder how far you will fall
We were always waiting For something to happen
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life
Everybody leaves and why, why wouldn't you?
I remember like we were alive
And I heard it Sunday morn' from inside all these walls
And a prison cell where we spent those nights
And they burned up the diner where I always used to find her
Licking young boys' blood from her claws
And I heard about the blues from this kitten I knew
hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb.
My heart's like a wound
And I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
Why wouldn't you?
Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life
Better safe than making the party
And I never had a good time, I sat by my bedside
With papers and poetry about Estella
With great expectations
We had the greatest of expectations
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?
why wouldn't you?
I can't go on
My head has grown too heavy
Need that song
Those trusty chords will pull me through
I saw the warning signs, and symptoms of the wrong
Wonder how far you will fall
We were always waiting For something to happen
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life
Everybody leaves and why, why wouldn't you?
