It's funny how I watch the day go by

I'm sitting watching TV

Talk shows high

There's banging on the walls

My head aches

I'm drinking out the world

That I hate

I had a big car, new clothes everything

I've had a watch engraved in Switzerland

Today I saw her buying a magazine

It's time to get myself some therapy

She's got a new dress on (I'm in cement)

Sits by her radio (I'm in cement)

She's got those x-ray eyes (I'm in cement)

Don't know which way to go

VERSE:play once thru without lyrics.

It's funny but I dream for yesterday

I'm blistered by the burns that life has made

I'm staring out behind the window shade

I see her face across the street again

I've got concrete shoes and I can't swim
