A sleepless night in the city
No peace and quiet in the city
It's hotter than the water

From a boiler in the ba!@&(t of hell
In this low rent, walk-up, broken down hotel.


Countin' the cracks on the ceiling
Flat on my back and I'm feeling
Lower than the roaches in the tunnels

Of the One and the Nine
And the clock says that I'm half past losin' my mind


Through the tick-tock-tick
I can hear the faucet drip
When the neighbors brawl

I can hear 'em through the wall
But I'm waiting,
I keep waiting


Cause I want you
I want you back again

I can't remember when
You and I were one
And I want to

I want to change your mind
So I'm gonna bide my time
Bearin' my misery

Till you come to me

High noon, same room, this is when it

Gets so suffocating, the air sits
Heavy like the weight of my regret
For ever letting you go

And it don't matter whether the windows are open or closed

There's a beat-beat-beat

From the traffic in the street
And a bang-bang-bang
Like a hammer in my brain

As I'm fading
Going crazy


Cause I want you
I want you back again
I can't remember when

You and I were one
And I want to
I want to change your mind

So I'm gonna bide my time
Bearin' my misery
Till you come to me


Cause I want you
I want you back again

I can't remember when
You and I were one
And I want to

I want to change your mind
So I'm gonna bide my time
Bearin' my misery

Till you come to me

Hey hey hey...


Just you wait and see
You'll come back to me

Just you wait and see
You'll come back to me
Oh no no

Just you wait and see
You'll come back to me
Baby, just you wait and see

You'll come back to me
