She pops a stick of wintergreen
Outside the cash machine
It's lonely being lovely all the time
Yeah when the rules all changed
The strange terrain of love's modern games
The ones that you play in your mind
Yeah I was across the block
Baby when the bomb went off
But I felt it just the same
I knew it was meant for me
But you're a little bad with your trajectory
Still my heart's a bit shellshocked
How could you walk away
From this so easily?
Dead of night and the city's bright
Caught blinking at the traffic light
The tapes are so hard to erase
Baby I've been going wrong
Ever since you've been gone
Are you chasing or being chased?
Yeah I got a heart of stone
Everybody's got a stain glass soul
I've been sleeping at Gethsemene
Got mother Mary and a rosary
You had secrets and I had baggage
Together we decided to unpack it
Dreamed a dream now you're laughing at it
You're just a girl in a leather jacket
Dead of night and the city's bright
Caught blinking at the traffic light
It's a drink or an sm-58
Baby, we've been going wrong
Ever since you've been gone
Are you chasing or being chased?
