Its so quiet on these windswept days
The city lights look golden rays
The sunlight on a subway track

So youre mad again
If you like, ill take it back


Theyre just your feelings
I wasnt looking at her eyes
Oh, do you mean it?


Its so lonesome in this happenstance
If you asked me, yes, id like to dance

Just show me your blood-covered hand
A perfumed dress is more than i can stand


And you approach me
With your hollow heart in hand
And you tell me:


Its not civilised
Its not fair to me

The blues, the greys
The olive greens
Ill take you far away from me

The girls in their summer dress, see?
Though you dont notice
They all look back at me

Is this on purpose?

Oh, no, no, no!

Oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!


May i offer you this one olive branch?
Its not as though youre always so keyed
And were both just the victims of circumstance

Do you understand, do you know what i mean?

Oh, no, no, no!

Oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!
Oh, no, no, no!


(no, no, no)


Im a husband first, im a childless curse
Im a faithful man, with a faceless thirst
Ill stay with you, but please dont side

Tried to explain, but you cry and cry and cry

And you hate me when i ask the reason why

Youll trade me a dollar for some sense
But dont blame me, i was only making sense
Oh, im so sorry, i was only making sense
