	Yea, you walk with the sun on your back
	with you're clothes soaking through
	on a handle of a suitcase that’s broken in two
	and a curled (or curdled) cigarette
	that you lit, when you threw the captain
	yea and he saw you running
	but he wouldn't stop the rain
	'cause he knew the perfect pictures
	were lying underneath the train
	yea and he ain't your hero
	yea but why should you care?
	'cause her memory stills lingers there
	and her memory still lingers there
	And I've been up so long
	And I've been up so long
	And I've been up so long that I don't think that I could get down
	No, I don't think that I could get down
	Yeah and Valentine woke me with a coffee and soup (?)
	And her long black stockings
	And her brown leather boots
	And that pen, she writes all the words on the sides of the pages
	Got drowned in the flood
	Yea and I asked if she would dance
	Down to the station with me
	But she couldn't hear the question
	From all the music in the street
	And I would have asked her again
	Yea but I knew she'd be thinking of him
	Yea and I knew she'd be thinking of him
	And I've been up so long
	I've been up so long
	I've been up so long that I don't think that I could get down
	No, I don't think that I could get down.
	Oh and all of the players,
	Snow White, in the show
	And the broken beer bottles and my old ragged clothes
	That I wore last night, yes and the night before
	But I just don't care
	No I just don't care anymore
	And there ain’t no use in pretending
	that you like me if you don't
	Because I don't like you
	And I can promise that I won't
	Ever believe a word that you say
	'cause you're a liar, and a phony, and a fake!
	No, you're a liar, and a phony, and a fake!
	And I've been up so long
	And I've been up so long
	And I've been up so long that I don't think that I could get down
	No, I don't think that I could get down
	No, I don't think that I could get down, down
	No, I don't think that I could get down, down
	No, I don't think that I could get down, down
	And I don't think that I could get down.

	Yea, you walk with the sun on your back
	with you' re clothes soaking through
	on a handle of a suitcase that' s broken in two

	' cause he knew the perfect pictures
	were lying underneath the train
	yea and he ain' t your hero
	yea but why should you care?
	' cause her memory stills lingers there
	and her memory still lingers there
	And I' ve been up so long
	And I' ve been up so long
	And I' ve been up so long that I don' t think that I could get down
	No, I don' t think that I could get down
