Well I was walking to the edge
Where decision takes its toll
|%|
I would never take a pledge
But I just might sell my soul
And I can't face the dreary night
But I can put up with the haze
And one by one they pass you by
The words just waste away...eh...ah, hey...
| % |
I was on my lonely rant
And I was falling through the freeze
|%|
Some just will and some just can't
And I fractured all my C's
And frosty windows blur my sight
And the midnight calms me down
But one by one they pass me by
When poor me comes to town...owne...
(guitar solo)
| % | |%|%|%| |%|
Yeah, I was on the different side
Where doorsteps line the streets
And bedtime stories they wax and wane
And rumours are discrete
And telltale windows softly lit
With purpose they all shout
One by one they pass you by
On the restless roundabout
