The Gaslight Anthem - Great Expectations |
|
Mary, this station is playing every sad song. |
|
I remember like we were alive. |
|
I heard and sung them all from inside of these walls. |
|
In a prison cell, where we spent those nights. |
|
And they burnt up the diner where I always used to find her. |
|
Licking young boys blood from her claws. |
|
And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew. |
|
Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb. |
|
My heart's like a wound. |
|
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife. |
|
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you. |
|
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life. |
|
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you? |
|
Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life. |
|
Better safe than making the party. |
|
And I never had a good time, I sat my bedside, |
|
with papers and poetry about Estella. |
|
With great expectations, |
|
we had the greatest expectations. |
|
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife. |
|
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you. |
|
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life. |
|
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you? |
|
It's funny how the night moves. |
|
Humming a song from 1962. |
|
We were always waiting...always waiting. |
|
We were always waiting for something to happen. |
|
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife. |
|
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you. |
|
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life. |
|
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you? |
