the gaslight anthem

mary, this station is playing every sad song. i remember like we were alive.
i heard it sunday morn' 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 by my bedside, with papers and poetry about estella.
great expectations, we had the greatest expectations.

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.
