The clock strikes one and I am feeling down By the window and i'm feeling all the pain But what the hell is wrong with this old town? It brings me grief and causes such disdain Through its lonely channels do I walk Come back each night and take a little time To contemplate the big ways that I talk And learn to fall the flipside of a dime Alterations come and go too fast Coffee shops and liquor stops they be In number very few and never last Short in time they fall to lock and key The window glistens with my endless sorrow Have to hope some good will come tomorrow
