A sleepless night in the city
No peace and quiet in the city
It's hotter than the water from a boiler in the basement of hell
In this low-rent, walk-up, broken down hotel.
Counting the cracks on the ceiling
Flat on my back and I'm feeling
Lower than the roaches and the tunnels of the one and the nine
And the clock says [tells me] that I'm half-past losing my mind
Through the tick-tock-tick I can hear the faucet drip
When the neighbors brawl I can hear 'em through the wall
But I'm waiting...
I keep waiting...
(Chorus)
'Cause I want you--
I want you back again
I can remember when
You and I were one
And I want to--
I want to change your mind
So I'm going to bide my time, bearing my misery
Till You Come to Me
High noon, same room, this is when it
Gets so suffocating the air sits
Heavy like the weight of my regret for ever letting you go
And it don't matter whether the windows are open or closed
There's a beat-beat-beat from the traffic in the street
And a bang-bang-bang like a hammer in my brain
As I'm fading... Going crazy...
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
Just you wait and see--you'll come back to me
