lyrics

TWO WINDOWS

THE URINE SMELL OF DARKENED HALLS
IT’S FRIED MEAT EVERY EVENING
THIS OLD APARTMENT BUILDING REEKS BUT WE ALL LIVE IN IT
I’VE GOT A CORNER ROOM, IT’S LONG AND NARROW

OF COARSE IT’S A FIRE TRAP WITH HOT PLATES AND CIGARETTES
AND IT’S HARD FOR ME TO TRUST ANYONE
CAUSE ANYMORE YOU JUST DON’T KNOW WHO IS WHO
I STAY ALONE IN MY ROOM

CHORUS:
BUT AT LEAST I’VE GOT TWO WINDOWS
TWO WINDOWS ARE MY WORLD
I’M LUCKY TO OVERLOOK THE STREET
LUCKY TO BE WARM

MY NEIGHBOR LISTENS TO BAD MUSIC
I THINK HE GETS DRUNK EVERY NIGHT
I CAN HEAR HIM MOVE IN THERE
AND THE SILENCE THAT COMES FROM HIS SQUEEKY CHAIR
I CAN HEAR HIM SNORE, RIGHT THROUGH THE WALLS

CHORUS:
BUT I’VE GOT TWO WINDOWS
TWO WINDOWS ARE MY WORLD
I THINK I’D DIE WITHOUT THEM
INTO THE VOID I’D HURL

I HAVE TWO WINDOWS
TWO WINDOWS ARE MY WORLD
I LOOK OUT ON THE SREET
I LOOK AND I LIVE IN MY CORNER ROOM

(E A C G B E)
