I can hear her singing, that's how I know she's home. 'Hotel California' to her man who's on the phone. But when he hangs it up she'll be all alone, sitting pretty, feeling lonely, drawing little pictures of him.
And she doesn't know it, but I get lonely, too. Each time I do I hide myself inside and drink her perfume. Then after it's all gone I paint my ceiling blue, light another cigarette and sit there with the curtains pulled.
You knew it, I knew it, I blew it all in front of you.
Don't do it. I'll do it. Just ***** it up like I do.
It's true, it is true that it's you, O how I wish I knew.
Light another cigarette and sit behind these curtains, blue.
