She says, you can breathe if you want to
Lay down if you have to
Fall asleep only if you need to
But once you come around
We might not be around
You’ll be left feeling upside down
In a house that’s empty
Just waiting for anything to move
Get going put the needle to the groove
Kid you’ve got something to prove
You don’t want to be left out of the loop
You better get it going soon
Get it soon, get it soon
Well back up in your bedroom
There’s a book she lent you
You wonder if she knows you still have it
You wonder why she ever had it
Science fiction fable
Dolled up like a card table
Now fiction’s all you believe in
I’m just waiting to cash my chips in
But it’s less than I spent to buy in
Now I’m just left waiting
For lady lucks hand to come in
Knock on my door, come right in
Come right in, come right in
Now I, I breathe cause I have to
Lay down ‘cause I want to
And sleep ‘cause it’s you can do
When you know she's leaving you soon
Coffee and conversations
You used to pull the hair from my eyes
They were dry and now they're wet
And cryings all I'm left with
But where will I be
When my joy she leaves
Oh, please don't go
Well, please don’t leave me here
I want to hold you close
You used to clothe my heart
And now I’m just falling apart
Falling apart, I'm just falling apart
