Well, it's late at night.
There's nobody around
Just the sounds of the cars
Upon the asphalt ground
It's the waiting time
When the hours grow still
And I gaze through the glass
Inside my windowsill
Though I know that you must be
Somewhere in this world
In this place where at birth
You and I were both hurled
To think that we once were relating
Is a thing that has almost grown foreign to me
It's a bad sight
Such a terrible waste
To spend your time talking
In such bad taste
It's the same old line
But it's not you I blame
It's your teachers and television
That you put to shame
The night's lasting longer
'Cause I've filled my head
With the things I could have done
And then the words I could have said
But, in truth, I was only spectating
And that's a permanent part of reality
So many rude lines
So many petty crimes
And I don't feel the need
To apologize
And tonight is the time
That you stick in my mind
But from now on I won't become vandalized
Now the room's started filling
With the dawn's early light
And the end has arrived
Of this long night
I turn off the television
And I hit the bed
While your shade is still haunting
My ever-vulnerable head
And there's no use
In trying to compromise
When the kindest things we say
Are when we tell each other lies
And it's time I just quit my complaining
And behave with a little more dignity
So many rude lines
So many petty crimes
And I don't feel the need
To apologize
And tonight is the time
That you stick in my mind
And from now on I won't become vandalized
