Doesn't Lenny Live Here Anymore |
| You laugh at the people who walk outside on the sidewalk |
| And you talk to yourself so much |
| When you see other people you can’t talk |
| This time it’s true |
| The charade is through |
| And you can’t seem to run away from you |
| Away from you |
| And the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser |
| Stands rejectedly by the door |
| Doesn’t Lenny live here anymore? |
| Are you sure? |
| You sit at the desk |
| To lose your life in a letter |
| But the words don’t seem to come and you know that they’re better |
| And it’s all so strange |
| Pictures lose their frame |
| And I’ll bet you never guessed |
| There was so much pain |
| So much pain |
| Until the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser |
| Stands rejectedly by the door |
| Doesn’t Lenny live here anymore? |
| Are you sure? |
| The moon, she shines too soon and simply sadly |
| You loved your love so much that you’d strangle her madly |
| And it’s all so slow |
| Time has ceased to flow |
| And the whistling whore knows something you don’t know |
| And the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser |
| Stands rejectedly by the door |
| Doesn’t Lenny live here anymore? |
| Are you sure? |
| You swore you’d store your love for one time only |
| Now you searched the books in vain for better word for lonely |
| And you’re torn apart |
| No other love will start |
| And you, you’d like to steal a happy heart |
| A happy heart |
| Then the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser |
| Stands rejectedly by the door |
| Doesn’t Lenny live here anymore? |
| Are you sure? |
| The fat official smiles at the pass on the border |
| And the hungry broom makes sure that the room is in order |
| You pull the shade |
| All the beds are made |
| As your lips caress the razor of the blade |
| Of the blade |
| And the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser |
| Stands rejectedly by the door |
| Doesn’t Lenny live here anymore? |
| Are you sure? |
| The soul of the sun shines just outsde of the winter |
| The shoulders charged, the boards of the barricade is splintered |
| Now at last alone |
| The flashlight is shown |
| Hello, inside, is there anybody home? |
| Anybody home? |
| It’s the haggard ex-lover of a long-time loser |
| Standing rejectedly by the door |
| Doesn’t Lenny live here anymore? |
| Are you sure? |
| Are you sure? |
| Are you sure? |
