By the time that you told me
It was already plain that you've changed
But your conscience was clean

And as white as a line of cocaine

My back to the wall of your bedroom apartment

You're talking in circles
Got your cigarettes burning
And I couldn't hide I'm afraid I was to see you so

strange

Don't get me wrong

I've got no ill will for you
It's just been so long
I thought I'd always know you

But you're so far gone
Up where the air gets thin


You cut the kite strings
I've read my name in lights
I've seen my face in papers

But my civilian life I spent 10 good years
Waiting (x8) for you


You charmed a snake
You picked the card
You bent the spoon

A curved plane
Shapes change
Euclid's made to play the fool but you


I don't know what that stuff does to you
And I don't know if it's real but

I spent a decade in love with you
And I can't tell if you're here


The man I knew
I don't think that he can hear me now
So dizzy with the altitude

Just too far

Who am I to tell you to come down

(Lucky that my palette still prefers the legal poison)
Who am I to tell you to come down
(Sit back and raise a glass, a glass to easy

choices)
Who am I (x3) to tell you to come down (x2)


The man I knew
I don't think that he can hear me now
So dizzy with the altitude

Just too far

Tell you..


Last night you came to kiss me in a dream but when I
woke

What kind of foolishness is this breathe out a lungful
of your smoke
I've seen you ?

Let it burn
So who am I to serve you on my ?


So who am I to tell you to come down
