| Slow death to the nightingale | |
| His voice would always fail | |
| In tenement towers | |
| and on rails | |
| And all of these praising words | |
| They all seem so absurd, so absurd | |

| The paint blisters on your stairs | |
| The dampness in your bones is always there | |
| And all of these praising words | |
| Well, they all seem so absurd, so absurd | |
| Ever thought that you would be | |
| This washed up and lonely | |
| This washed up and lonely | |
| This lonely |
