lyrics

In the whitewashed walls
Of my five by eight
I nearly left my mind
When my mind was all there was left to take

So I kissed the floor
Cause my friend told me
"At least you got the choice.
Some places in this world won't let you leave.
Take it from me."

And her majesty
She met me downtown
I was her in-between
She let me hang my heart on the noose of her crown

On that pale autumn day
In that dim lamplit bar
With eyes so far away
She said, "I'll see you soon." with the grace of a passing car

Last night I dreamed
I heard her calling
My name from her bedroom door
But when I opened up
All I found was
Dead leaves and grooves in the floor

Guess I was some grooves in your floor
Ain't we all just grooves in the floor

Now I've been used up before
And I've been taken for some rides
Thought I'd learned how to laugh
But all it takes, man, is a woman to cry

And don't worry about me
Mama, I'll be fine
At least you taught me how to leave
And still somehow
To get left behind
