lyrics

I'm still doing time, but I don't mind waiting
Mind my state of mind, or I'll soon be fading
out of my world, lost from my thoughts
fading in dreams like a ghost forgotten
Cut from the frame, gone down the drain,
washed in the rain

But I'm not what you want, but my heart's still in it
tonight I'll sleep alone, but I'll still remember
us up in your room, drunk on perfume
scary little girl with her bright eyes burning
windows of rain, hair daisy chained
the cold city lights on the broad horizon

I did not ever want to leave you in that room of treasure

But I'm not what you need, but your heart's still in it
And so I have to leave, oh sweet Lolynia
I'm back on the street, off to myself,
hanging with the band at red door alley
The old port of call, back to the wall, just watching it all

And I'm not what you need, but if your heart's still in it,
don't wear it on your sleeve, sweet Lolynia
I'm out on the road, making new foes,
with the telephone Jones, that's the life we're leading .
When you're nowhere for long, everyone's wrong
They all know my songs except the one I'm singing.
So please don't sing along. Oh no, please don't sing this song.
