Everyone has said that I might go

'Cos my red suitcase and my ray-bans


Weren't quite so


I'd bear the heavy wind and rain that falls

I'll never come back again


'Cos you know I laugh when winter shows her hand


Well, that picture framed the saddest thing you'll see

But it bought me time and a place that love could be


And since I'm going now please rearrange


'Cos I'd like to think that things have changed

I don't believe you'll be open anymore



Tell me if, you want to see


A world outside your window


A world outside your window isn't free

And tell me if you wanna catch that feeling of redemption


That feeling of redemption doesn't do much for me



Well, everyone was hoping you would stay a while


Tell us 'bout that great land in the south

I see that man - now ain't he under offer?


I tell you child you go wash out your mouth



Tell me if, you want to see


A world outside your window

A world outside your window isn't free


And tell me if you wanna catch that feeling of redemption


That feeling of redemption doesn't do much for me



What can you say

I'm hiding in the belfry


What can you say - I want to catch time


How can you say you know anything about me

Well I knew about you - but I won't care about you



Everyone has come to see. Well somethings have to do


Flowers out for this photographic haunt, but they all pass me
by


But the age is not a funny game, it don't give such a buzz


And when I winced with ignorance

I had to kiss this dust
