Out from my window the people are passin' on by
I hear them complain but I know that they don't even try
And the lights down on Main Street don't shine like they used to
And I'm thinkin' of nothin' but spendin' a lifetime with you
You know that I love you
You know that I wait by your door
You know how I'm feelin'
So I won't have to feel it no more
But nobody could love you like I can
Honey, someday you'll wake up and maybe you'll understand
Well, I got a friend of a friend who drives a nice car
And I got acquaintances down at the neighborhood bar
I got some women stop by my home
But somehow I end up wakin' each mornin' alone
And the train that I ride's got nothin' aside
From the phantom conductor with a dog at his side
And the ghost of a weeping weddingless bride
Who should've been married but never arrived
And I see through the windows like I see through the lies
Like I see through every useless disguise
That everyone wears but everyone swears that they don't
Oh, and don't mind me, baby
I'm only dyin' slow
I'm tryin' so hard just not to think about you
I try not to care about anything that you do
But four in the mornin' and I can't sleep
Well, the pills ain't workin' and I can't get no relief
I feel like a hound dog moanin' along with the rain
Any day now the jukebox could drive me insane
And there's an old man in the corner that nobody knows
He says, "Laugh while you can
'Cause someday you'll be wearin' my clothes"
I guess I can't tell you what you don't already know
I ain't no prophet, my landlord, he told me so
But my mind is a burnin' ring of Saturn flame
I feel things inside that I, I just can't explain
Well, I know that you know how to fake and to take
What you break, what you burn, what you never did learn
And you turn and you say that you made a mistake
As your head starts to spin and your heart starts to ache
But all that you make will be all that you get
When the curtain goes down, so don't you forget
That all your regret is a cheap silhouette, and that's all
Oh, and don't mind me, baby
I'm only dyin' slow
I met a gambler, did nothin' but lose all day
He had love in his hands but he let her slip away
And all he ever wanted was to give her a win
But all she ever really wanted was him
