lyrics
So I finally bid you farewell
And did my best impression
Of somebody who had never cared
And we were stranded in the stairwell
The doors were always locked
And I remember how we shivered there
I won't talk and you can't make me
The kid across the alley
Is always blowing on his clarinet
And I've got a dollar for the bakery
They say the end is coming
And I wonder if it's happened yet
I know, I know that I should find
Find a way to clear my mind but I
Oh how I wish that I
Could have just a little more time
I don't know how long I'll stay here
Everybody's looking thinner
And I think that I'm in trouble
And there's nothing you can say, dear
I'll have my bags packed and ready
When the bricks begin to crumble
I should forget you but I haven't
I just ran into Janey
And she asked if I'd had dinner yet
And I'm precariously balanced
I feel just like a spider
Hanging by a spinneret
I know, I know that I should find
Find a way to clear my mind but I
Oh how I wish that I
Could have just a little more time
