| When it’s 4:30 in the morning
|
| And the vacuum sucks you in
|
| The tell tale trace of guilt upon your face
|
| The sidewalk feels just like your skin
|
| When your heart is full of winter
|
| And your days become like living in a lie
|
| And the clouds outside your bedroom windowpane
|
| Resemble crippled children limping slowly 'cross the sky
|
| When you grasp at straws like forgotten songs
|
| And your memory’s short but the days are too long
|
| Every dream that you bought seems to slip right through your hands
|
| Well, love has got disorders and work has got demands
|
| Don’t say a word
|
| Don’t make a sound
|
| Just might be going down
|
| And when the sun is pounding on the pavement
|
| And the streets are dripping flesh
|
| And murder gets to sounding like a kind of inner peace
|
| And everybody wants to know what’s going to happen next
|
| Well, I won’t give away the end my little troubadour
|
| Though I’ve been here before and I can’t bear to watch the rest
|
| But don’t you blink, don’t close your eyes or it will pass you by
|
| The weight of history is hanging on your chest
|
| Don’t say a word
|
| Don’t make a sound
|
| Just might be going down
|
| Well, your problem’s sticking with you just like flies up on a strip
|
| You’d crawl inside your head but it ain’t worth the trip
|
| You rearrange the furniture but it always looks the same
|
| Christ on a crutch, too late, too much, call it a day
|
| Don’t say a word
|
| Don’t make a sound
|
| Just might be going down
|
| Could be you’re going down |
