My Sweet Skyline

I can`t sleep at all,

I can`t dream it off,

I just wanted my arms around you,

I know it`s too late to call,

I hope your dad isn`t pissed,

I know I`m lucky that I got through,

My sweet skyline surrounds me,

And the train still gently rocks me,

The sky`s still gray and the air`s still cold,

The city still blackens my lungs,

And it`s snowing, too,

But it doesn`t mean anything,

Without you.

Right now,

She`s lying beside me in her poodle lingerie,

Right now,

She`s running me over in her Impala Chevrolet,

And I can`t find anyone else,

I`ve tried,

The fact I`ve tried,

Means I don`t deserve her.

And there ain`t nuthin`,

There ain`t a goddam thing I can do,

But grow up,

Like she told me to.

When you give up on love,

That`s when she`ll come along,

They say,

But I can`t give up,

I`ve tried for too long.
