The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Baby, there was nowhere you could run
Nothing you could do
She knew better, sold your old sweater
Lucy shone a light on you
Oh, Lucy shone a light on you
Lucy’s ex had a facial scar in the shape of a crescent moon
And he’d sit on his own on a stool by the bar
And waste away his afternoon
When her career finally got in gear and the money started rolling in
Lucy knew that time was due for him to hassle her again
You’ve got to hand it to him this time
Always thinking about the pound signs
Digging for another goldmine
Baby, there was nowhere you could run
Nothing you could do
She knew better, sold your old sweater
Lucy shone a light on you
Oh, Lucy shone a light on you
Lucy sighed and threw her buzzing phone on to the bed
Just like clockwork, he was back
And interfering with her head
Haunting her with compliments
Acting like nothing’s changed
But she’d hung new posters on her walls
And now the dog don’t remember his name
You’ve got to hand it to him this time
Always thinking about the pound sign
Always digging for another goldmine
She dug out an old story
Called: The Void Behind Your Eyes
I need another point of view
So call me when you’ve read this through
He was a mediocre fella
And she was sitting on a hit sci-fi best-seller
A terrible tale of cosmic dread
Worse than the darkest thoughts inside his head
He was a coward, he was a coward
He was selfish, cheap and mean
When he read the words inside
Something deep within him died
Yeah, he glazed over at the eyes, manic laughter filled his mind
Don't waste your time (don't waste your time)
Your time on me (your time on me)
It's clear I'm not your ideal company
Don't waste your time (don't waste your time)
Your time on me (your time on me)
It's clear I'm not your ideal company
