Waltz #2 Lyrics










  
 
 
 
 
 
 
  








first the mic then a half cigarette
singing Cathy's clown
that's the man
she's married to now
that's the girl that he takes around town
she
appears composed, so she is, I suppose
who can really tell
she shows no
emotion at all
stares into space like a dead china doll

I'm never
gonna know you now
but I'm gonna love you anyhow

now she's done and
they're calling someone
such a familiar name
I'm so glad that my memories
remote
'cause I'm doing just fine hour to hour, note to note
here it is
the revenge to the tune
you're no good
you're no good, you're no good,
you're no good
can't you tell that it's well understood

I'm never
gonna know you now
but I'm gonna love you anyhow

I'm here today and
expected to stayon and on and on
I'm tired, I'm tired

looking out on
the substitute scene
still going strong
XO, mom, it's ok, it's alright,
nothing's wrong
tell Mr. Man with impossible plansto just leave me
alone
in the place where I make no mistakes
in the place where I have
what it takes

I'm never gonna know you now
but I'm gonna love you
anyhow
I'm never gonna know you now
but I'm gonna love you anyhow
I'm
never gonna know you now
but I'm gonna love you anyhow
