the gaslight anthem - great expectations lyrics

mary, this station is playing every sad song.
i remember like we were alive.
i heard and sung them all from inside of these walls.
in a prison cell, where we spent those nights.
and they burnt up the diner where i always used to find her.
licking young boys blood from her claws.
and i learned about the blues from this kitten i knew.
her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb.
my heart’s like a wound.

i saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife.
everybody leaves and i’d expect as much from you.
i saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life.
everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn’t you?

mary, i worried and stalled every night of my life.
better safe than making the party.
and i never had a good time, i sat by my bedside, with papers and poetry about estella.
great expectations, we had the greatest expectations.

i saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife.
everybody left me and why wouldn’t you?
i saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life.
everybody leaves and why, why wouldn’t you?

it’s funny how the night moves.
humming a song from 1962.
we were always waiting… always waiting.
we were always waiting for something to happen.

i saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife.
everybody else left me and mary why wouldn’t you.
i saw tail lights last night in a dream about my whole life.
everybody leaves and why, why wouldn’t you?
